湖の彼岸　－向こう岸の街、水面に映った社会、二重写しの自分－

Fukuyama argue that liberal democracies of the late twentieth century represent the culminating achievement of humanity's search to discover the best form of self-rule. To lend support to his view, Fukuyama notes that since the 1980's we have seen many liberal democracies arise from former communist or totalitarian government. Fukuyama notes that this trend is not acccidental but attests to the ability of liberal democracies to meet successfully the most fundamental yet long unsatisfied of human needs, the need for each indivisual to feel recognized as part of his/her own political system. In particular, he notes that liberal democracies distinguish themselves in that they meet this need in an unprecedented way. More sepecifically, unlike other forms of government, liberal democracies allow all of its indivisuals to express themselves by electing their own officials.
