Dominique Moïsi entirely disagrees with Samuel Huntington as she believes the world today is divided by the two pillars of the West, the United States and Europe.

Samuel Huntington's view of the traditional rivalries between nation states is totally rejected by other scholars, including Dominique Moïsi.

Both Huntington and Moïsi believe that military solutions will not end the current wars between nations because the United States and Europe are divided.

According to Huntington and Moïsi, the crucial issue in global politics today is that all conflicts primarily arise from ideological or economical reasons and therefore fighting the Muslim world is a priority.

Huntington's argumentation that contemporary disputes among peoples are brought about by differences in deeprooted cultural values is extended by Moïsi's view of the "clash of emotions in the modem world.
