Samuel P. Huntington
In the coming decades, questions of identity, meaning cultural heritage, language, and religion will play a central role in politics.
Samuel P. Huntington
Two significant developments in the past several decades have been the collapse of communism as an ideology and the general acceptance, in rhetoric, if not practice, of liberal democracy.
Samuel P. Huntington
When you mention the word ideology, everyone has communism in the back of their minds, which was an entirely well formulated ideology and statement of belief. You read the Communist Manifesto and you know what the core of it is.

Samuel P. Huntington
Many of the most difficult questions concerning the role of ethnic minorities centers on language.
Samuel P. Huntington
When I think of countries that I enjoyed visiting, that I would want to go back to, Italy would be one, Japan would be another. I've only been to Indonesia once or twice and it seems like such a fascinating country. I guess India certainly.
Samuel P. Huntington
Except under rare circumstances, I don't write responses to criticism.
Samuel P. Huntington
I don't say that the West is united, I don't suggest that.
Samuel P. Huntington
I've been to Egypt, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, and Kuwait for brief visits at conferences, and they are very interesting countries.
Samuel P. Huntington
U.S. foreign policy is in every area impacted by ethnic groups of one sort or another as well as economic groups and regional groups.
Samuel P. Huntington
People have multiple identities.
Samuel P. Huntington
Turkey has its own interests and historically, Turkey conquered most of the Arab world, and the Arabs had to fight wars of liberation to free themselves from the Turks. That's in the past and that doesn't necessarily shape what is going on but it's there and it's there in people's memories.
