Definition

  • Samuel P. Huntington (1927–2008) was an American political scientist best known for his thesis that, in the post–cold war world, conflicts would stem from the competing cultural identities of “civilizations” rather than the ideological (and state-based) conflicts of the cold war period. Huntington earned a bachelor's degree from Yale University before serving in the U.S. Army at the end of World War II (1939–1945). [Source: The Encyclopedia of Political Science; Huntington, Samuel P.]
