Abstract
Do armed conflicts in the contemporary post-Cold War period reflect a clash of civilizations (CoC) as
predicted by Samuel Huntington? This study substantially broadens and temporally extends the scope of
major extant quantitative tests of the CoC thesis by assessing not only interactions among states but also
interactions between states and non-state armed groups, from 1989 to 2015. Based on Chi-square and logistic
regression tests, this study does not find empirical support for the CoC thesis as a basis for adopting foreign
policies of civilizational containment.
