Huntington's ideas in this field offer a convenient illustration that his scholarly insights often escape ideological pigeon-holes. As early as 1965 he wrote to another scholar, “there is the whole question—which is far from just a Marxist myth—of the impact which private economic groups have on the politics of underdeveloped countries where they have investments and on their developed home countries. This is a subject which political scientists have avoided, but my own very limited studies on Latin America convince me that it is of fundamental importance.” As quoted in Rosenau, James N., The Scientific Study of Foreign Policy (Nichols, 1980), p. 392.Google Scholar
