Bøker av Samuel P. Huntington

The classic study of post-Cold War international relations, now even more relevant in the post-September 11 world.

Huntington examines the persistent gap between the promise of American ideals and the performance of American politics. He shows how Americans have always been united by the democratic creed of liberty, equality, and hostility to authority, but how these ideals have been frustrated through institutions and hierarchies needed to govern a democracy.

Examines the development of viable political institutions in nations and contributes to modern political analysis.

Analyses the causes and nature of the transition by more than 30 countries in southern Europe, Latin America, East Asia and Eastern Europe from authoritarian to democratic governments between 1974 and 1990.

In this classic work, Huntington challenges old assumptions and ideas on the role of the military in society. Stressing the value of the military outlook for American national policy, Huntington has performed the distinctive task of developing a general theory of civil-military relations and subjecting it to rigorous historical analysis.
