Sarah Montague speaks to the renowned US political scientist
Francis Fukuyama. Thirty years ago, the Soviet Union collapsed

battle of ideas. Dr Fukuyama posed a question – if humanity had
arrived at the most effective form of government, were we at the
end of history? In the years since, liberal democracy has often
seemed in retreat. But when Russia invaded Ukraine the world
changed again. Francis Fukuyama is convinced that President Putin
has miscalculated and is heading for defeat. What does that mean
for the course of history and the progress of liberal democracy?
