Civilization states, according to theorists like Francis Fukuyama and Samuel Huntington, focus not on global hegemony but on regional stability and control. Fukuyama heralded the triumph of liberal globalism, positing it as a universal solution; however, Huntington countered with the notion of a civilization-based world order. He argued that civilizations would reassert their identities and influence, carving out spheres of control that align with their cultural and historical backgrounds.
