Talk:Political Order in Changing Societies

Guardian coup
I've seen the term Guardian coup thrown around by a good number of media sources regarding the recent 2017 Zimbabwean coup d'état. The term appears to have originated in this book. power~enwiki ( π, ν ) 22:52, 15 November 2017 (UTC)

FYI the maintainers of this page may want to add a reference to the following -- from :


 * The Case of Samuel P. Huntington. In 1968 Samuel P. Huntington wrote a book entitled Political Order in Changing Societies. In it Huntington uses what might charitably be characterized as pseudomathematical hucksterism to "prove" that South African society in the 1960s was a "satisfied society". Serge Lang decided that nothing could be further from the truth, and in any event Huntington's methodology was suspect if not corrupt. He conducted a vigorous campaign to derail Huntington's credibility, and he twice successfully blocked Huntington's election to the National Academy of Sciences. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.1.126.21 (talk) 02:59, 2 February 2020 (UTC)
