The 'end of history'? Iraq between democracy and a hard place

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

The collapse of the Soviet Union 30 years ago signalled the end of the Cold War, the defeat of totalitarianism and the success of the liberal democratic order, which led to the famous ?end of history? argument by Fukuyama. It was the triumph of the West, a victory for liberal capitalist democracies and the total exhaustion of any viable alternative systems.
