Francis Fukuyama's political theory reassessment
Overview
Political theorist Francis Fukuyama has begun revisiting his influential ‘End of History’ thesis, which originally posited the triumph of liberal democracy over autocracy. In recent reflections, Fukuyama noted that his theories have faced scrutiny during global crises, suggesting that critics may have overlooked nuances in his original work that anticipated new political challenges.
With the release of his new book, ‘In the Realm of the Last Man’, Fukuyama expands on these ideas by addressing modern threats to democratic stability, such as the rise of populism, financial crises, and the decay of democratic institutions. He introduces the concept of the ‘last man’—individuals who revolt against stable liberal societies due to boredom—and examines ‘vetocracy,’ a condition where bureaucratic and lobbyist influence prevents societal progress. He argues that preserving democracy requires a form of liberalism capable of overcoming such stagnation.
