Samuel P. Huntington Quotes:

Ocupation: Political scientist

Life: April 18, 1927 - December 24, 2008

Birthday: April 18

Death: December 24

It is my hypothesis that the fundamental source of conflict in this new [post-Cold-War] 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.

- Samuel P. Huntington
