Francis Fukuyama on War - Dictionary of Arguments
Brocker I 810 War/Peace/Fukuyama: Thesis: According to Fukuyama, liberal democracy is not satisfactory in itself because it cannot create a sense of community. (See Recognition/Fukuyama). An unprecedented level of comfort provides no impetus and thus no sense (values worth dying for) for political coexistence. (See Humans/Fukuyama, Morals/Fukuyama). Interstate war remains the last possibility for Fukuyama to live out this need. It is therefore healthier for democracies to wage wars now and then than to live in an eternal state of peace. People need the fight for recognition. Wars will not end even when recognition is realized. The end of history (see Universal History/Fukuyama, End of History/Fukuyama) could lead to wars of its own accord.
