Law of nations used interchangeably with the term ‘international law’ , underlying legal
principles common to all nations
Clash of civilisations controversial idea first used by Samuel Huntington in 1993 to describe
the main cultural fault line of international conflict in a world without communism; the notion
has become more popular since 9/11

power or ‘pole’. Some analysts argue that the international system became unipolar in 1990 since
there was no longer any rival to the American Power
