More quotes by Samuel P. Huntington

The question really is what will be the central focus of global politics in the coming decades and my argument is that cultural identities and cultural antagonisms and affiliations will play not the only role but a major role.
Samuel P. Huntington
Cultural America is under siege. And as the Soviet experience illustrates, ideology is a weak glue to hold together people otherwise lacking racial, ethnic, and cultural sources of community.
Samuel P. Huntington
Maybe Iraq will come back and become the dominant power among Arab countries. That seems to me as conceivable.
Samuel P. Huntington
I think it's hard to talk about the Muslim world and Christian world as blocks.
Samuel P. Huntington
I don't say that the West is united, I don't suggest that.
Samuel P. Huntington
Certainly there are various trans-Islamic political movements, which try to appeal to Muslims in all societies.
Samuel P. Huntington
Except under rare circumstances, I don't write responses to criticism.
