The UK's prominent Prospect Magazine offers an insightful editorial on why Samuel Huntington, despite authoring a number of standard-setting books in the fields of comparative politics and political development, ended up a "pariah" among his Harvard colleagues. Eric Kaufmann, who also holds an appointment at Harvard, explains that it was not due to any kind of reactionary thought on the part of Huntington, but rather due to his very normalcy that Huntington, an indisputably accomplished author and life-long denizen of Cambridge, came under criticism.

Huntington's former student James Kurth, currently Professor of Political Science at Swarthmore College, also wrote an exclusive memorial for Samuel Huntington in First Principles last month.

Fouad Ajami, of the Johns Hopkins University School of Advanced International Studies, writes also of Huntington's unpopular but prescient writings in the Wall Street Journal.
