Together with Maurice Janowitz, he became a pioneer researcher of U.S. government-military relations in the late 20th century. Huntington is best known for his 1993 book "The Clash of Civilizations", which was used to explain the post-Cold War world structure. Huntington believed that wars in the 21st century would not occur between countries, but between civilizations. In this book, he believes that Islamic extremism will become the biggest threat to the Western world. In order to curb Islamic terrorist organizations, Huntington continues to help the United States rebuild harmonious military-civilian relations. This approach is widely praised in the United States for increasing the government's prestige. According to Open Syllabus, Huntington's articles are the second most cited author in American political science courses. His political stance is closer to the Democratic Party, but ideologically he is a very right-wing member of the conservatives.
