Abstract

Abstract. Renowned historian Niall Furguson speaks often on the future of the “West”. He warns against the threats of Russia and China as well as Iran. His message is a repetition of S. Huntington's Clash of Civilisations (1996), updated with recent events Ukraine and Gaźa. At the same time Mearsheimer and Sachs hands down s very different story of the “West”, blaming first and foremost US, saying it is much responsible for the present calamities. By the way, what is the “Western” civilization today?

Keywords. Social regulation; Social networks; Cameroonian adolescents.
