A mai globális konfliktusok középpontjában – a stanfordi professzor, Michael McFaul kifejezésével élve – inkább az autokráciák és a demokráciák közötti ellentét áll, és kevésbé a „civilizációk ütközése”, ahogy azt a néhai harvardi professzor, #SamuelHuntington több mint három évtizeddel ezelőtt megfogalmazta.

Carter may have done some decent things after he left the presidency. But his policies probably set the stage for a lot of the awfulness in our situations now. Whenever I see nice quotes about the importance of safety for girls and women, or any other obviously decent thing I wonder how if his...

Hello.
I have found the Wikipedia on #SamuelPHuntington.
His "Clash ..." book looks to have intellectually anchored #Islamophobia during the Bush/Cheney pillaging of Iraq.
