Fukuyama suggests that these systems represent the ultimate form of government, following a historical progression of different political ideologies. His ideas sparked significant debate about democracy's universality and the future of global politics, particularly following the Cold War. Fukuyama continues to engage in discourse on democracy, governance, and political philosophy.
