Abstract	:	This thesis identifies how Islamism is a politicized civilizational reaction to threatened cultural identity due to globalization. By clearly defining Islamism, relating this new political movement to cultural identity and identifying the subtleties that exist within, this research suggests that the field of International Relations is currently witnessing a paradigm shift. This thesis also answers key questions about the current international political situation by examining the causes of international conflict spurred on by Islamism and Islamic terrorism from a cultural/civilizational standpoint. While Huntington's "Clash of Civilizations" theory has had an impact on the emergence of Islamism, the entire phenomenon of globalization is identified as the main threat and has generated extreme reactions, expressed only by a small faction of Islamists. Hence, what is actually occurring is a clash between civilizations and globalization and not a clash between civilizations per se.
