Book Francis Fukuyama

Francis Fukuyama is an American scholar of political science, political economy and international relations, and a leading voice on democracy and world order. He is best known for The End of History and the Last Man (1992), which argued that after the Cold War, liberal democracy and market economics had emerged as the end point of the long contest between political ideologies, an idea that sparked decades of global debate. His later books include Our Posthuman Future (2002), America at the Crossroads (2006), The Origins of Political Order (2011) and Political Order and Political Decay (2014). At Stanford University he is a senior fellow at the Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies, the Mosbacher Director of the Center on Democracy, Development and the Rule of Law, and since 2019 has led the Ford Dorsey Master's program in International Policy. He previously taught at Johns Hopkins University's School of Advanced International Studies and at George Mason University. His honors include the Johan Skytte Prize in Political Science (2015) and the Democracy Service Medal. Fukuyama gives audiences a clear, big-picture lens on global politics, governance and the future of democracy.
