Good compilation of essays regarding the West vs. the Rest

This short book does an excellent job of providing the reader with both sides of the "West vs. the Rest" debate. In addition to Huntington's essay, originally published in the fall of 1993, there are several counter-essays that argue against Huntington's original "Clash of Civilizations?" The book is finished off with another essay by Huntington, a counter to the counter-essays, entitled "If Not Civilizations, What?" Even though the essays were all originally published in the early 1990's, alot of their arguments still ring true in the world we live in today.
