In the 2016 CBC Massey Lectures, former Special Advisor to the UN
Secretary-General and international relations specialist Jennifer
Welsh delivers a timely, intelligent, and fascinating analysis of
twenty-first-century geopolitics. In 1989, as the Berlin Wall
crumbled and the Cold War dissipated, the American political
commentator Francis Fukuyama wrote a famous essay, entitled "The
End of History," which argued that the demise of confrontation
between Communism and capitalism, and the expansion of Western
liberal democracy, signalled the endpoint of humanity's
sociocultural and political evolution, and the path toward a more
peaceful world. But a quarter of a century after Fukuyama's bold
prediction, history has returned: arbitrary executions, attempts to
annihilate ethnic and religious minorities, the starvation of
besieged populations, invasion and annexation of territory, and the
mass movement of refugees and displaced persons. It has also
witnessed cracks and cleavages within Western liberal democracies
as a result of deepening economic inequality. The Return of History
argues that our own liberal democratic society was not inevitable,
but that we must all, as individual citizens, take a more active
role in its preservation and growth.
