INTRODUCTION

Yoshihiro Francis Fukuyama was born on October 27, 1952. He is an American political economist author and political scientist.
Fukuyama is best acknowledged for his book titled The End of History and the Last Man (1992), which debated that the universal spread of liberal democracies and free market capitalism of the West and its lifestyle may indicate the end point of humankind's sociocultural development and become the ultimate form of human government system. However, his following book Trust: Social Virtues and Creation of Prosperity (1995) altered his former position to admit that culture cannot be easily separated from

    Though the pervasiveness of liberalism and democracy is readily apparent throughout those states that recognize the socioeconomic benefits stimulated by these ideals, there remains still a myriad of complex governing systems that seem to shirk the possibilities of this apotheosized ideology in favor of highly variable authoritarian manifestations. Yet this is not simply a case where one ideology may be chosen based on the particular needs and relative cultural norms of one society versus another with the two forms existing in global harmony; rather it is the case that liberal democracy generally remains significantly more stable, incites less violence, and promotes economic progress in far greater frequencies than the various blends of autocracy. It would seem then, that liberal democracy is the superior ideological foundation for successful, prosperous, and stable governance—an argument asserted quite controversially by Francis Fukuyama, qualified and advocated by Fareed Zakaria, and rooted as a central concern of this paper. However, this paper is not to be cast upon the painfully mounting stack of virtually inapplicable and redundant analyses of democratic versus authoritarian institutions by withered, aloof academics far removed from current developments in international affairs. Rather, it endeavors to proffer a unique perspective demonstrating liberal autocracy as a possible deviation from Fukuyama’s conception of the “end of history,” through the use of concrete and theoretical observations of recent political instability and military coups in Guinea with particular attention to its ideological limbo resultant from its suspension between the desire for liberalism and its susceptibility to autocratic command.…

    Huntington argued, that the decline of the era of ideologies gave birth to a new era of future conflicts. His claim is, that upcoming tensions will be along religious and cultural fault lines. Therefore, Huntington drew spheres between the world population, and advocated that this division of civilization trends to be the main cause of conflicts. “The fault lines between civilizations will be the battle lines of the future” (Huntington, 1993, p. 22). Political scientists, like Michael Ignatieff, opposed Huntington’s simplifications of clashing cultures, and introduced further interpretations, which finally led to utterly different conclusions of civilization.…
