In it, Huntington predicts that the history of the 21st century will be dominated by struggle between human cultures and not individual countries: <p> <blockquote><tt> It is my hypothesis that the fundamental source of conflict in this new world will not be primarily ideological or primarily economic. The great divisions among humankind and the dominating source of conflict will be cultural. Nation states will remain the most powerful actors in world affairs, but the principal conflicts of global politics will occur between nations and groups of different civilizations. The clash of civilizations will dominate global politics. The fault lines between civilizations will be the battle lines of the future. </tt></blockquote><p><b>Father:</b> Richard Thomas Huntington<br><b>Mother:</b> Dorothy Sanborn Phillips<br><b>Wife:</b> Nancy Arkelyan<br><p> High School: <a href="/edu/018/000079778/">Peter Stuyvesant High School, New York City, NY</a><br> University: <a href="/edu/480/000068276/">BA, Yale University (1946)</a><br> University: <a href="/edu/520/000068316/">MA Political Science, University of Chicago (1948)</a><br> University: <a href="/edu/473/000068269/">PhD, Harvard University (1951)</a><br> Professor: <a href="/edu/473/000068269/">Government, Harvard University (1950-58)</a><br> Professor: <a href="/edu/477/000068273/">Columbia University (1959-62)</a><br> Professor: <a href="/edu/473/000068269/">Government, Harvard University (1963-)</a><br><p> <a href="/gov/269/000058095/">US National Security Council</a> Coordinator of Security Planning (1977-78)<br> <a href="/media/230/000058056/">Foreign Policy</a> Founder and Co-Editor<br> <a href="/org/377/000054215/">America Abroad Media</a> Advisory Board<br> <a href="/org/339/000048195/">American Enterprise Institute</a> Council of Economic Advisors<br> <a href="/org/693/000044561/">Brookings Institution</a> Research Assistant (1952-53)<br> <a href="/org/505/000042379/">Council on Foreign Relations</a> <br> <a href="/org/324/000052168/">Foreign Policy Research Institute</a> Board of Advisors<br> <a href="/org/902/000051749/">Freedom House</a> Board of Trustees<br> <a href="/org/684/000051531/">International Institute for Strategic Studies</a> Director (1989)<br> <a href="/org/805/000167304/">John Kerry for President</a> <br> <a href="/org/945/000172429/">McCain 2000</a> <br> <a href="/honors/485/000032389/">Guggenheim Fellowship</a> <br> Risk Factors: <a href="/lists/783/000064591/">Diabetes</a><br> <p> <b>Author of books:</b><br> <i>The Soldier and the State: The Theory and Politics of Civil-Military Relations</i> (<tt>1957</tt>, politics)<br><i>The Common Defense: Strategic Programs in National Politics</i> (<tt>1961</tt>, politics)<br><i>Political Power: USA / USSR</i> (<tt>1964</tt>, international affairs)<br><i>Political Order in Changing Societies</i> (<tt>1968</tt>, international affairs)<br><i>American Politics: The Promise of Disharmony</i> (<tt>1981</tt>, politics)<br><i>The Third Wave: Democratization in the Late 20th Century</i> (<tt>1993</tt>, nonfiction)<br><i>The Clash of Civilizations and the Remaking of World Order</i> (<tt>1996</tt>, international affairs)<br><i>Who Are We?
