West-non-West conflict centers on weapons, values, and immigration

Evidence

Three such issues involve the efforts of the West: (1) to maintain its military superiority through policies of nonproliferation and counterproliferation with respect to nuclear, biological, and chemical weapons and the means to deliver them; (2) to promote Western political values and institutions by pressing other societies to respect human rights as conceived in the West and to adopt democracy on Western lines; and (3) to protect the cultural, social, and ethnic integrity of Western societies by restricting the number of non-Westerners admitted as immigrants or refugees. In all three areas the West has had and is likely to continue to have difficulties defending its interests against those of non-Western societies. — Samuel P. Huntington, The Clash of Civilizations and the…, 495

Categorization

• SEED: A crisp three-axis framework for a piece on how Western foreign policy agendas (nonproliferation, democracy promotion, immigration restriction) each create their own non-Western backlash — a taxonomy that could frame a comparative essay.
• XREF: The immigration axis resonates with the moral panics over dress/identity themes from the Complaints About Immodesty article and with general nativist-politics literature.
