Samuel Huntington, RIP

One of the foreign policy’s most influntial scholars passed away on December 24, 2008. Samuel Huntington is best known for his work “Clash of Civilizations”, a copy of which went with me to the Tanzanian bush in 1994. Although rightly criticized for glossing over internecine strife, the work did counter liberalist idealism sparked by the end of the Cold War.

    A great mind. The mentioned book- a rosetta stone to make sense of the post bipolar war.
