“The most widely discussed formulation of [the One World model] was the "end of history" thesis advanced by Francis Fukuyama. "We may be witnessing," Fukuyama argued, "the end of history as such: that is, the end point of mankind's ideological evolution and the universalization of Western liberal democracy as the final form of human government."

And, he concluded rather sadly, it will all be rather boring.” WorldHumansMayIdeasEndsProblemGovernmentFormStruggleDemocracyEconomicMankindEvolutionModelsWesternFinalsBoringDevotedMundaneIdeologicalExhilaratingThesisLiberal Democracy Author:Samuel P.
