  1. Dominique Moïsi (2007) The Clash of Emotions, Foreign Affairs, January/February, is an odd reinforcement of Samuel Huntington's argument that a "clash of civilizations" was about to dominate world politics, this states:
    Events since then have proved Huntington's vision more right than wrong. Yet what has not been recognized sufficiently is that today the world faces what might be called a "clash of emotions" as well. The Western world displays a culture of fear, the Arab and Muslim worlds are trapped in a culture of humiliation, and much of Asia displays a culture of hope.
    Other writings for Foreign Affairs include the (1998) The Trouble with France, which argued that the country of France's non-compliance towards the foreign policy of the US can be attributed to a "bad mood."
