description: During the 1950s and 1960s political violence and disorder increased dramatically throughout the world. The causes of violence and instability in the developing countries of Asia, Africa, and Latin America, argues Samuel P. Huntington, are to be found in the lag in the development of viable political insittutions behind social and economic change. The author provides valuable insights on age-old problems of political change in both Western and non-Western societies. This book was written under the auspices of the Center for International Affairs, Harvard University; and delivered in part as the Henry L. Stimson Lectures at Yale University.
