Hat der Liberalismus noch eine Zukunft?

Die Demokratien stecken weltweit in der Krise. Militärischen Drohgebärden und der Spaltung der Gesellschaft haben sie scheinbar nichts entgegenzusetzen. Francis Fukuyama unterzieht unserem System einen Stresstest: Sind die Prinzipien des Liberalismus als Grundlage unseres Handelns noch zeitgemäß?

Corona-Einschränkungen, Hetze und Falschinformationen in den sozialen Medien, die aggressive Politik von Russland und China, populistische Führer im Westen: Der westliche Liberalismus erscheint heutzutage schwach und nicht in der...

Virtually all human societies were once organized tribally, yet over time most developed new political institutions which included a central state that could keep the peace and uniform laws that applied to all citizens.
