Favorite Quote

The End of History truly felt as if it would be forever. But the fact it crumbled so rapidly and with such little genuine organized opposition indicated how fragile it had become.

Introduction

The theories and explanations proposed in the aftermath of the Soviet Union's collapse were perhaps as dramatic as the events themselves.

One such overzealous thesis was presented by American political scientist Francis Fukuyama, who suggested that the Soviet fall was a testament to the 'end of history' culminating in a global liberal democratic order.

In The End of the End of History, political commentators Alex Hochuli, George Hoare, and Philip Cunliffe explore how the 'end of history' argument died its natural death soon in the wake of the 2008 Global Financial Crisis.

Hochuli is a Brazil-based political commentator and research consultant who also co-hosts the global politics podcast Aufhebunga Bunga with Hoare, a London-based writer.

Cunliffe is a senior lecturer in politics and international relations at the University of Kent, and a writer with a focus on the international handling of violent conflicts after the end of the Cold War.
