Preferred term
future of democracy
Definition
- In the aftermath of the cold war, democracy became the most common form of government in the world. Policy makers, the general public, and scholars—especially those who followed arguments such as Francis Fukuyama's in his book, The End of History and the Last Man—embraced the notion that the end of the superpower conflict marked the triumph of liberal democracy as the preferred form of government and the means by which many of the globe's economic and social problems would be ameliorated.
