The Era of Re-Civilization?

In 1989, Francis Fukuyama caused a stir by publishing an article titled “The End of History?”. In it, Fukuyama confessed that he was feeling something out of the ordinary. “We may be witnessing,” he said, “not just the end of the Cold War, or the passing of a particular period of postwar history, but the end of history as such.” What did Fukuyama mean by this? Where did his ideas come from? Why were he and his followers so wrong? And what are the new possibilities opened up by the concepts of "de-civilization" and "re-civilization"? 

In this exclusive Danube Institute roundtable, David Lloyd Dusenbury and Philip Pilkington will discuss their article in the current issue of American Affairs journal, in which they articulate a positive vision of history for the collective West in a rapidly changing world order.
