Abstract

The civilisational dialogue concept has long been discussed by the world’s society, especially the academia. Hence, the success of assimilating this concept in the inter-civilisation context (Islam, West, China, India etc.) is far from fruition. This qualitative study aimed to investigate several issues pertaining to this concept by using the content analysis method on relevant sources of data. Findings indicate three issues that were discussed, namely the relationship between a dialogue and a debate, interfaith or inter-religious dialogue in the civilisation dialogue concept and sensitive issues in civilisational dialogue are not big issues that can jeopardise the implementation of the civilisation dialogue concept if it is examined and viewed positively and prudently.

Highlights

Civilisational dialogue is an international relations concept that is anchored on noble and common values found in societies around the world
Its implementation is faced with several issues, which, if not examined wisely, could jeopardise solidarity and positive values that are incorporated in the civilisation dialogue concept
Among them is the relationship between a dialogue and a debate, interfaith or interreligious dialogue as a dimension of civilisation dialogue and sensitive issues in civilisational dialogue are not something that can seriously jeopardise the implementation of civilisation dialogue if it is monitored as well as accepted positively and wisely
