November 18,2014 Debate,25th Anniversary of The End of History and the last Man.

Yoshihiro Francis Fukuyama is an American political scientist, political economist, and writer. Fukuyama is known for his book The End of History and the Last Man, which argues the worldwide spread of liberal values and democracies.
Francis Fukuyama claims that liberal democracy is the end of history. ... The author argues that incorporating elements of postmodern thought into Fukuyama's theory makes it possible to produce a stronger and more compelling account of the theory that liberal democracy is the end of history.

The phrase the end of history was first used by French philosopher and mathematician Antoine Augustin Cournot in 1861 "to refer to the end of the historical dynamic with the perfection of civil society".

Liberal democracy, also referred to as Western democracy, is the combination of a liberal political ideology that operates under an indirect democratic form of government. ... A liberal democracy may take various constitutional forms as it may be a constitutional monarchy or a republic.

Democracy is a form of government in which the people have the authority to deliberate and decide legislation, or to choose governing officials to do so.

Cornerstones of democracy include freedom of assembly, association and speech, inclusiveness and equality, citizenship, consent of the governed, voting rights, freedom from unwarranted governmental deprivation of the right to life and liberty, and minority rights.
