Sam Huntington

Samuel Huntington was an American political scientist and historian best known for his theories on global conflict and cultural identity. He argued that in the post-Cold War world, major conflicts would increasingly be driven by cultural and religious differences rather than ideological or economic reasons. His influential 1996 book, "The Clash of Civilizations," suggests that future conflicts will primarily occur along cultural and civilizational lines, such as between Western, Islamic, and Sinic (Chinese) civilizations. Huntington's work has sparked extensive debate about identity, globalization, and international relations, making him a significant figure in political science and global studies.
