Authors

  • Juan Avilés Farré

Abstract

The Alliance of Civilizations proposed by the Spanish Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodríguez Zapatero in 2004, co-sponsored by the governments of Turkey and Spain and endorsed by the United Nations, seeks to address the rift between the Western and Muslim societies. That rift manifested itself in the Muhammad’s cartoons crisis of early 2006. This article analyses both the debate on that crisis in the Spanish press and the fi nal report of the Alliance of Civilizations High-Level Group in order to clarify some fundamental issues in the relations between Western and Muslim societies.
