The Clash of Civilisations - Huntingdon
From Wikipedia The Clash of Civilizations is a theory, proposed by political scientist Samuel P. Huntington, that people's cultural and religious identities will be the primary source of conflict in the post-Cold War world.
The theory was originally formulated in a 1992 lecture[1] at the American Enterprise Institute, which was then developed in a 1993 Foreign Affairs article titled "The Clash of Civilizations?",[2] in response to Francis Fukuyama's 1992 book, The End of History and the Last Man. Huntington later expanded his thesis in a 1996 book The Clash of Civilizations and the Remaking of World Order. . (more)

The Success of Development - Charles Kenny
The main question mark I have over the approach of "The Bottom Billion" by Paul Collier is its reliance on GDP and GDP growth as a measure of development and success. It's a blunt instrument and Charles Kenny thinks we should be looking at other aspects.
