Francis Fukuyama on State (Polity) - Dictionary of Arguments
Brocker I 809 State/Fukuyama: From a historical perspective, the liberal state is the form of state that best balances these competing claims because it is based on the principle of recognition. This liberal state is to be thought of as a universal state in which all people are recognized, and it is to be thought of as a homogenous state in which social differences are largely levelled. The possibility of a universal historical process ("end of history") ends with its extensive implementation. See History/Fukuyama, Universal History/Fukuyama. In liberal democracy, where the struggle for recognition is largely realized, there are few social differences. Human development Brocker I 810 is finished. The type of human being that has emerged is the last of its kind ("Last Man"/Fukuyama). Problem: this state has new problems, e.g. boredom (Fukuyama uses Nietzsche here). People rebel against being undifferentiated members of a universal and homogeneous state. The mutual recognition of people leads to a value relativism that leads to the dissolution of a firm attachment to tradition, authority and community-building values. According to Fukuyama, liberal democracy is not satisfactory in itself because it cannot create a sense of community. >Recognition/Fukuyama.
