'''Samuel Phillips Huntington''' (born [[April 18]], [[1927]]) is a [[political science|political scientist]] known for his analysis of the relationship between the military and the civil government, his investigation of ''[[coup d'etat]]s'', and his thesis that the central political actors of the [[21st century]] will be [[civilization]]s rather than [[nation-state]]s. More recently, he garnered widespread attention for his "analysis" of threats posed to the [[United States]] by modern-day immigration, which is quite biased and eurocentric. He is a professor at [[Harvard University]]. Huntington came to prominence as a scholar in the 1960s with the publication of ''Political Order in Changing Societies'', a work which challenged the conventional view of [[modernization]] theorists that economic and social progress would bring about stable democracies in recently [[Decolonization|decolonized]] countries.
