ソーシャルリンク:

Francis Fukuyama is an American political scientist and author whose work examines liberal democracy, state formation, political order, and identity. He is best known for The End of History and the Last Man, and later books including Political Order and Political Decay. His ideas have shaped global debates in politics and international relations.

経歴と著者の歩み

Francis Fukuyama was born in Chicago in 1952 and would later weave his own life together with family history, including the wartime internment of relatives. He studied classics at Cornell and then political science at Harvard, where he completed his Ph.D. in 1981. Early work at the RAND Corporation and on the U.S. State Department’s Policy Planning Staff became decisive turning points, giving him a rare combination of scholarly range and firsthand policy experience. That blend of philosophical training, comparative politics, and government service shaped the rest of his career, allowing him to write not only as an academic theorist but also as a close observer of institutions under real pressure.
