Samuel P. Huntington

Samuel P. Huntington was an American political scientist best known for his theories on the role of culture and civilization in global politics. He gained prominence for his 1993 book, "The Clash of Civilizations," which argued that future conflicts would be driven not by ideology or economics but by cultural differences, particularly among major world civilizations. Huntington's ideas sparked significant debate about international relations, cultural identity, and the nature of conflict in a globalized world. His work has influenced both academic discourse and policy-making, emphasizing the importance of understanding cultural dynamics in geopolitics.
