Huntington: Encyclopedia II - Post-September 11 anti-war movement - BackgroundOn September 11th, a series of coordinated terrorist attacks against the United States killed over 3000 people. U.S. president George W. Bush responded by declaring a campaign against terror organizations and terror supporters, which he called the "War on Terrorism".

| | | | | | Samuel P. Huntington: Encyclopedia II - Superpower - Power distribution after the Cold War The post-Cold War world is considered an unipolar world, as the United States is the world's sole remaining superpower, with the largest economic and military capabilities.
Some analysts think the hegemonic stability theory explains the current evolution in international relations. Hegemonic states tend to overstretch their power. At the same moment new rivals will become gradually more powerful, eventually replacing or counterbalancing the weakened hegemony. This scenario could be happening at the moment, as high military spending co ...

| | | | | Samuel P. Huntington: Encyclopedia II - History of democracy - Origins
History of democracy - Prehistoric democracies.
The earliest forms of democracy may have originated in the bands and tribes of prehistoric times. These groups of people, related by blood and marriage, often assigned the most senior man in each group to be its leader. As groups became larger, a method of selecting a ruler from among the elders of various family lines had to be developed. This process began to take on more of a religious nature and could become either more or less democratic. Larger societies tende ...

| | | | | Samuel P. Huntington: Encyclopedia II - Civilian control of the military - Rationales Advocates of civilian control generally take a Clausewitzian view of war, emphasizing its political character. The words of Georges Clemenceau, "War is too serious a matter to entrust to military men" (also frequently rendered as "War is too important to be left to the generals"), wryly reflect this view. Given that broad strategic decisions, such as the decision to declare a war, start an invasion, or end a conflict, have a major impact on the citizens of the country, they are seen by civilian control advocates as best guided by the will of ...

| | | | | Samuel P. Huntington: Encyclopedia II - Coup d'état - History Coups have long been part of political tradition. Indeed, Julius Caesar orchestrated a coup and was subsequently the victim of another coup. Many Roman emperors, such as Claudius, came to power in coups, as did King Jehu of Israel. In the November of 1799, Napoleon Bonaparte staged a coup and seized power in France.
In the late 20th century coups occurred most commonly in developing countries, particularly in Latin America (e.g. Brazil, Chile, Bolivia, and Argentina), Africa and Asia (Pakistan), but also in the Asia Pacific (Fiji and ...

| | | | | Samuel P. Huntington: Encyclopedia II - Democratization - Empirical research A considerable amount of empirical research has been conducted on democratization, with scholars looking for patterns in the establishment of democracies around the world.

Huntington: Encyclopedia II - Anglosphere - Historical perspectives The United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand are all former colonies of the United Kingdom, and were settled by migrants from the United Kingdom. The similarities of these countries, it is sometimes argued, manifest certain historical conditions which they have all faced.
Anglosphere nations have a history of co-operation and close political ties. A network of varying military alliances as well as intelligence arrangements exists between all five nations, and some are in free trade areas with each other. The countries of the A ...

| | | | | Samuel P.

After the military coup of May 28, 1926, Portugal implemented an authoritarian regime of fascist inspiration.
