The Rekindling of the Clash of Civilizations – A Debate on Immigration Policy Standing
* Author to whom correspondence should be addressed.
Abstract
Supposedly, migrants migrate to a host nation and would become a member of the host nation as they acquire citizenship or residency in the host nation. There shall be no distinction between migrant citizens and non-migrant citizens in the host nations, as they share the same rights and civil responsibilities. Migrant citizens and non-migrant citizens would blend together into the community and society. However, the reality is that migration becomes a social issue as there are debates between political sides in host nations and conflicts between migrants and non-migrants. In order to explore solutions to migration conflicts, this research aims to analyze Huntington’s Clash of Civilizations theory in an immigration setting to argue why a more thoughtful immigration approach based on the culture of the “host” and “guest” is suitable in the current world setting, instead of a liberal approach like Derrida’s cosmopolitanism, and how to execute a thoughtful immigration approach.
