According to Herbst, the main question that we ask our selves is if the African nations can take transformation policies for consolidating nations without necessarily following the path of the European countries. Peaceful consolidation has to do with revising fiscal policies and government revenue. Herbst says that it is quite hard to have major reforms and increase the states\u2019 capacity without having to rely on wars as a means to ratchet up the extractive ability of a state. Instituting key reforms when the state is running normally is difficult. Concrete things that can be undertaken include use of fiscal systems and tax reforms. Structural adjustments directed towards Africa by the IMF, bilateral donors and the World Bank are some of the policies to reach consolidation.<\/p>\n
According to Samuel P. Huntington, it is religious and cultural identities that will primarily breed tension and conflict in the world of post- Cold War. Huntington concluded this after surveying various theories relating the mode of global politics. He argued that the idea of different civilizations is key to analyzing the possibility of conflict. Civilizations differ from each other in terms of language, culture, history, religion and tradition. This has potential for conflict.<\/p>\n
Huntington gave a memorable slogan regarding Islamic religion which has agitated friction in the western world. It is the \u201cIslam has bloody borders\u201d slogan that brings fear in his arguments. Huntington concludes that all Asian countries and other Islamic nation are collectively peace haters. The western will come together and consolidate their power to ensure their interests remain. The Islamic nations will too consolidate and challenge the power and values of the West.<\/p>\n
The western world has had impact great impact in the world civilizations. To remain relevant, they have to consolidate their military power and fight for their interests and values.<\/p>\n
