The prob with Huntington is that what he describes as clash of civs and "cultural conflict" can be very well described as conflict of ideologies as well (certainly in the current conflict vs. radical islamism), so his belief that "the age of ideology had ended" is just too strongly focussed on the end of the cold war and the idea that afterwards there wouldn't be serious ideological conflicts anymore. I think today he wouldn't be so quick in announcing the end of the "age of ideology".
