Abstract

Fukuyama, Democracy and the New World Order of ISIS

Niccolo Caldararo

Reviews of Francis Fukuyama’s ideas of the end of history and Samuel Huntington’s concept of the clash of civilizations still haunt Anglo-American foreign policy and deserve scrutiny. Both ideas lack a foundation in culture history or the study of technology and culture change theory. A general analysis of the ideas in this context demonstrates how ethnocentric both ideas are.
