The document discusses an article written by Larry Summers in Foreign Affairs titled "The Fusion of Civilizations". The article suggests that the mood of much of the world is grim due to various challenges such as terrorism and geopolitical tensions, but it argues that historians looking back on this age will be puzzled by the widespread feelings of gloom and doom. It also highlights the fact that despite Samuel Huntington's foreboding, what has occurred over recent generations is not a clash of civilizations but a fusion of civilizations.
