Notions of civilisation and terms like ‘Clash of Civilisations’ and the ‘civilisational state’ have staged a comeback in ‘right wing’ political discourse, referred to as ‘civilisationalism’ in the first few decades of the 21st century.
They are sought to reinforce the civilisational basis for states like China and Russia, in order to assert their essential difference from the western model of nation states. By claiming an essential difference of the state-society relation in these states, the civilisation argument seeks to explain their exemption from the international regimes of human rights and other expectations of democratisation.
Hindu nationalists, both in India and abroad, have also shown their keenness to jump on the bandwagon of the new civilizationalism, by seeking to establish a Hindu identity for India in the global arena.
The common element in these approaches is the appropriation of the idea of civilisation for purposes of establishing an identity for the specific regions and for staking claims to sovereignty and autonomy.
