Abstract

CAMPUZANO VOLPE, Felipe. De la Guerra Fría al choque de civilizaciones: nacionalismo y milenarismo en la obra de Samuel P. Huntington. Argumentos (Méx.) [online]. 2007, vol.20, n.54, pp.159-175. ISSN 0187-5795.

In his extended academic trajectory, S.P. Huntington has produced a work that has unique relevance for the contemporary debates in political science. In this essay two readings are developed: on the one hand, the point is to understand his work in its own terms, identifying its central ideas and its theoretical and political orientation; on the other, the aim is to develop a critical analysis of these very ideas and orientations. The open controversial and polemic character of the author makes the reading of his work a stimulating exercise for critical thinking and an inevitable reference on the current debates about political development, democracy, multiculturalism and American foreign policy.

Keywords : political development; democracy; cultural conflict; national identity; American foreign policy.
