Francis Fukuyama on Recognition - Dictionary of Arguments
Brocker I 806 Recognition/Fukuyama: Democracy is the model of order that relatively satisfies the human need for social recognition better than other systems. With the victory of this model, the battle for recognition ends and, according to Fukuyama, the driving force of history is stopped. However, this is a Pyrrhic victory, because the individual needs the fight. Brocker I 807 FukuyamaVsDoyle, Michael/FukuyamaVsRussett, Bruce: Fukuyama shares the thesis of Doyle (1986)(1) and Russett (1993) (2) that democracies are peaceful among themselves, but wars between democracies and non-democracies are likely. But he goes beyond that and sees a potential cause of war in the constant striving for recognition. Brocker I 808 Progress/Fukuyama: Progress is also technologically influenced, but technological progress alone cannot explain the emergence and implementation of democratic systems. There must be another driving force for this: the struggle of the individual for recognition. See Humans/Fukuyama, Liberty/Fukuyama, Universal History/Fukuyama. 1. Michael W.
