At
this time seven years ago, what came to be known as the Arab Spring was
blossoming across the Middle East, spreading the ideal of reform. It
was possible to think then that what the conservative theorist Francis
Fukuyama had predicted
at the end of the Cold War, in a book called “The End of History and
the Last Man,” was actually coming to pass — that eons of autocracy were
ending, and a global age of democratic self-determinism had dawned.
As
it turns out, though: not really. And not just because Egypt is back to
military rule, while Syria and Yemen and Libya are each engaged in
all-out civil war.
