Samuel P. Huntington: An Appreciation

Putnam, Robert. "Samuel P. Huntington: An Appreciation." Political Science and Politics 19:4 (Autumn, 1986): 837-845.

“To survey the life and work of Samuel P. Huntington, the new President of the American Political Science Association, is a challenging task. First, even more than most other leaders of our profession, Huntington has made fundamental contributions to many different fields of the discipline. From his first publications to some of his most recent, he has been a major contributor to the study of American politics. His single more influential work (Political Order in Changing Societies) and much of his teaching is in comparative politics. In the field of international relations, he has contributed important studies of military policy, international security, and transnational organizations. Virtually all his works evince close familiarity with political philosophy, and indeed his major published work within that field is arguably the key to the corpus of his writings.”
