Francis Fukuyama and the End of History

Francis Fukuyama’s The End of History and the Last Man has been one of the most widely debated books since the end of the Cold War. In this book, Howard Williams, David Sullivan and E. Gwynn Matthews argue that Fukuyama’s continuing fundamental contributions to debates concerning the spread of democracy and threat of global terror mark him out as one of the most important thinkers of the twenty-first century. Francis Fukuyama provides an up-to-date assessment of the impact and importance of Fukuyama’s argument in the twenty years that have followed its first appearance.
