當人們預言科技將革新世界，而自由經濟已是不可逆行的趨勢，過往的幽魂似乎又將捲土重來！歷史的迴圈是否是無法掙脫？
政治學者福山曾作出著名斷言，表示隨著冷戰落幕，共產與資本主義的鬥爭的終結也象徵人類歷史將走向自由與民主主義的開放社會，是「歷史的終結」。但時至今日，二十一世紀的世界並沒有如他所預言的一般，而依然紛亂不息，戰爭與難民問題，政治與經濟的國際角力，貧富不均與社會不公…這些情形在過往也曾出現，最終帶來社會與世界的變動，歷史的回歸究竟會不會發生？不同的政經現狀又會產生什麼細微的差異？
本書作者Jennifer Welsh為聯合國顧問，亦是牛津大學國際關係教授，並擔任歐洲諸多重要學術機構委員。對於國際關係研究精闢，將為當代變動的局勢，提供鑑往知今的宏觀分析。
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.” Fukuyama argued that the demise of the confrontation between Communism and capitalism, and the expansion of Western liberal democracy, signaled the endpoint of humanity’s sociocultural and political evolution, the waning of traditional power politics, and the path toward a more peaceful world. At the heart of his thesis was the audaciously optimistic idea of “progress” in history.
But a quarter of a century after Fukuyama’s bold prediction about transcending the struggles of the past, history has returned. The twenty-first century has not seen unfettered progress toward peace and a single form of government, but the reappearance of trends and practices many believed had been erased: 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.
This book will both illustrate and explain this return of history, and it will also argue how the reappearance of things deemed “barbaric” or “medieval” has a modern twist.
