Dr Francis Fukuyama is a Senior Fellow at Stanford University's Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies.
Dr Francis Fukuyama is a Senior Fellow at Stanford University's Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies. He has written widely on issues in development and international politics. His 1989 essay The End of History? was a global sensation. It was published in The National Interest, under then-editor Owen Harries.
Fukuyama is best known for his book The End of History and the Last Man (1992), which controversially argued that the worldwide spread of liberal democracies and Western free-market capitalism may represent the final step in humanity's sociocultural evolution and the final form of human government.
He is also the Mosbacher Director of the Center on Democracy, Development and the Rule of Law at Stanford, and director of the Ford Dorsey Master's in International Policy. Previously, he served as a professor and director of the International Development program at Johns Hopkins University's School of Advanced International Studies.
