According to Harvard's Samuel Huntington the post Cold War era is a world of seven or eight civilizations. Which civilization will dominate the 22nd century:
1. Sinic (China and related cultures, i.e. Vietnam, the Koreas)
2. Japanese (obvious)
3. Hindu (India)
4. Islamic (including the Arab, Turkic, Persian, and Malay cultures)
5. Orthodox (Russia)
6. Western (Europe, North America, possibly Latin America)
7. Latin America (an offspring of Western Culture, Huntington sees it as having evolved along a different path from Europe and North America; more corporatist and authoritarian)
8. African (possibly distinct; much of it Islamic or Western dominated)
9. A combination of two or more civilizations will dominate
10. There will be no civilizations by the 22nd century
