Huntington’s framework supplied the lexicon including ‘war on terror’ to policymakers.

Evidence

In addition to recasting Islam—which it falsely contended was a civilizational, sectarian, and ideological monolith—as the geopolitical rival of Western civilization, Huntington’s Clash of Civilizations equipped policymakers and pundits with a new lexicon for analyzing Islam and Muslims. It included, most notably, the phrase “war on terror.” Huntington shaped and advanced this and other terms that would become staples of the political and popular discourse. While the Bush and Clinton administrations initially resisted the framing peddled by Huntington, its ideas, concepts, and language proved immensely resonant in Washington. — Khaled A.
