Huntington, a prominent American political scientist and academic at Harvard University for over 50 years, held esteemed positions such as director of Harvard’s Center for International Affairs and the Albert J. Weatherhead III University Professor. He also served as the White House Coordinator of Security Planning for the National Security Council during Jimmy Carter’s presidency.
