Term Paper Outline

The thesis of this paper is despite the assertion that the end of the Cold War marked the end of history, world history has not ended. Instead, democracy and respect for human rights can provide a path forward for further change and progress towards the greater good. By promoting these values, societies can achieve greater equality, justice, and peace. In his article "The End of History," Fukuyama argues that the end of the Cold War marked the triumph of liberal democracy, the end of the historical struggle between ideologies (Betts, 2008). Liberal democracy is the final form of government. Fukuyama supports his thesis by pointing to the collapse of authoritarian regimes worldwide and the spread of liberal democracy, particularly in Eastern Europe and Asia. In contrast, Doyle's thesis in "Liberalism and World Politics" is that the spread of liberal democratic values and institutions can help to create a more peaceful and prosperous world (Betts, 2008). Thus, liberal democracies are less likely to engage in war with one another than non-democratic states. Doyle supports his thesis by examining the historical record and pointing out that there have been no wars between liberal democracies since the end of World War II. In contrast, non-democratic states have engaged in numerous conflicts.

Real-world examples that disprove Fukuyama's thesis include the rise of authoritarian regimes such as China and Russia. Russia has just recently invaded Ukraine and is now at war. Additionally, the global rise of populism and the erosion of democratic norms in established democracies such as the US and Hungary suggest that the triumph of liberal democracy is not as inevitable as Fukuyama suggests. On the other hand, real-world examples supporting Doyle's thesis are the absence of war between the US and its allies since World War II. Fukuyama and Doyle share some similarities in their emphasis on the role of liberalism in shaping international politics but differ in their conclusions. Fukuyama is more optimistic about the future of liberal democracy, while Doyle is more cautious and recognizes the potential for conflict and challenges to the liberal international order.
