	Francis Fukuyama - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Fukuyama's prophecy declares the eventual triumph of political and economic liberalism.
		Fukuyama's thesis in this first book was based on a misprision (a "creative misreading" or "distortion") of Kojeve and Hegel's thesis that history in the limited sense of the struggle of ideologies had ended in the 19th century.
		Fukuyama was a member of the President's Council on Bioethics from 2001-2005.

	The End of History and the Last Man - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Fukuyama points out that since the beginning of the Nineteenth Century, democracy, which started off as being merely one amongst many systems of government, has grown until nowadays the majority of governments in the world are termed "democratic".
		Fukuyama points to the economic and political difficulties that Iran and Saudi Arabia are facing, and argues that such states are fundamentally unstable: either they will become democracies with a Muslim society (like Turkey) or they will simply disintegrate.
		Fukuyama himself later conceded that his thesis was incomplete, but for a different reason: "there can be no end of history without an end of modern natural science and technology" (quoted from Our Posthuman Future).

		FUKUYAMA: My grandfather on my father's side came to the U.S. in 1905, to avoid being drafted into the Japanese side of the Russo-Japanese War, at the same time that a lot of my Jewish friends had their grandparents leave on the Russian side.
		FUKUYAMA: First of all, this is history with a capital H. You know, Jesse Jackson says, you've got to get on the right side of history, and what he means by that is that the world is evolving in certain ways, towards greater democracy, towards certain principles that now underlie most modern societies.
		FUKUYAMA: I mean, it doesn't have to be that formal, but, yes, most people believe in some sense that it's really different living in a modern society than a Third World one, and there are consistent reasons why you want to move from one to the other.

	Phronesisaical: Fukuyama's revisionism
		Fukuyama makes the point, but then whitewashes it by calling for a "realistic Wilsonianism" in the face of what turns out to be "cynical realism" on the part of the neocons.
		Fukuyama, by contrast, saw a fixed end to history in - surprise - his preferred form of governance that just happened to be the tradition of his own country.
		Fukuyama is correct if he means that the US overlooked the legitimacy of its own actions - both regarding the near-religious faith in economic globalization with its concomitant sects of economic growth and liberalization, and regarding the extension of its military power.

		Fukuyama, who is credited with leading the defections, told The New York Times he'd been perturbed by the editorial direction of the journal since it was acquired last year by the Washington-based Nixon Center, a foreign-policy research group that he felt was eschewing neoconservative and liberal-internationalist viewpoints in favor of realpolitik.
		Fukuyama, Brzezinski, Cohen, and Joffe now plan to launch a foreign policy journal of their own, to be called The American Interest; the journal, it was reported in the Times, will initially be financed by ''a Boston venture capitalist,'' left unnamed.

		Fukuyama's world, unregulated genetic modifications to our children could result in an ever-splintering society of animals which are all "partial humans", leaving us with no clear concept of what it means to be human.
		Fukuyama assumes that democracy and liberalism were only able to flourish because of the empirical evidence that we are all more or less the same, and therefore more or less equal.

	Francis Fukuyama & the end of history by Roger Kimball (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Fukuyama envisaged was not the end of history—understood as the lower-case realm of daily occasions and events—but the end of History: an evolutionary process that represented freedom’s self-realization in the world.
		Fukuyama has told us that “in the post-historical period there will be neither art nor philosophy,” precisely because at the end of History nothing remains for those disciplines to accomplish.
		Fukuyama complains that people have labeled Hegel “a reactionary apologist for the Prussian monarchy, a forerunner of twentieth-century totalitarianism, and … a difficult-to-read metaphysician.” Let’s grant that the bit about totalitarianism is moot.

	TomPaine.com - Fukuyama's Misleading Apology
		In the early 1990s, Fukuyama and most of his colleagues failed to recognize the need to re-align America's economic engine from the task of all-out anti-communism to sustainable, inclusive progress. Instead, they believed that since America "won" the Cold War, this was validation of our economic engine.
		Fukuyama and his new moderate friends have fallen prey to a powerful fallacy that dominates policy circles here in Washington.
		But Fukuyama and Daalder have not made that next jump and are instead calling for a new generation of band-aids to treat symptoms they now want America to address.

	The neoconservative tragedy. By Jacob Weisberg - Slate Magazine
		Fukuyama, who until recently counted himself a neoconservative, defines the term not by the shared back story of some of its founding members (Trotskyism in the 1930s, opposition to the New Left in the 1960s, Commentary magazine in the 1970s, etc.), but rather by a shared set of ideas.
		While he remains sympathetic to the democracy-spreading mission, Fukuyama castigates the unilateral and militaristic turns that gave us such concepts as "preventive war," "benevolent hegemony," and "regime change." Neoconservatives, he contends, have abandoned their fundamental political insight, namely that ambitious schemes to remake societies are doomed to disappointment, failure, and unintended consequences.
		Fukuyama makes an especially damning point when he discusses the tremendous intellectual ferment over the past decade and a half around the question of how democratic transitions are accomplished.

		Fukuyama is deeply concerned about the erosion of the foundations of liberal democracy under pressure from new concepts of humans and human rights, and most readers will find some room for agreement.
		Fukuyama (The End of History and the Last Man; Trust) is no stranger to controversial theses, and here he advances two: that there are sound nonreligious reasons to put limits on biotechnology, and that such limits can be enforced.
		Ultimately this is what Professor Fukuyama is worried about and why he argues so strongly for the regulation of the biotech industry regardless of the effect such regulation might have on scientific progress and even at the risk of creating a biotech gap between the United States and other nations actively pursuing such research.

		Danny Postel examines the bitter dispute between two leading neocons, Francis Fukuyama and Charles Krauthammer, and suggests that Fukuyama’s critique of the Iraq war and decision not to vote for George W Bush is a significant political as well as intellectual moment.
		That’s because the critique Francis Fukuyama has advanced is an inside job: not only is its author among the most celebrated members of the neo—conservative intelligentsia, but his dissection of the conceptual problems at the core of the Iraq undertaking appeared on the neocons’ home ground.
		Fukuyama’s essay provides a “great service,” he says, in making plain that the neo-conservative strategy for dealing with Iraq has “crashed and burned.” Fukuyama is “to be admired for his honesty here.

	BrothersJudd.com - Review of Francis Fukuyama's Our Posthuman Future: Consequences of The Biotechnology Revolution
		Fukuyama is less convinced of its efficacy than are its proponents; ditto for genetic engineering; although he does concede that these and other sciences are likely to result in a dramatic lengthening of the human life span.
		Fukuyama nowhere suggests that either of these things are remotely possible at the moment, and I don't mean to either, but perhaps we can demonstrate the larger point by asking ourselves whether Man would still be human if he was immortal and no longer selfish or greedy.
		Fukuyama proposes is that rather than try to draw up the kind of intricate set of regulations that really could stifle worthwhile and relatively less controversial research, we should draw a series of "red lines", of defined points beyond which we forbid people to go.
