We are in an unprecedented idyllic era, although the world is considerably less violent, there are regions plagued with by protracted conflicts. Sectarian violence within regions and countries have spilled over into the west resulting in a migration crisis. Along with highlighting the weakness of the European Asylum system it has brought forward the emerging battle of ideals between the Muslim world and Western democracies. Considering Francis Fukuyama’s and Samuel P. Huntington’s arguments for global relations-We are at the nexus of these two ideas; Either liberal democracy has finally become the global hegemony establishing economic cooperation and an era of peace, or alternatively, a multi-polar and civilization-divergent order could characterize the state of the world. The debate between Fukuyama and Huntington began more than 20 years ago. In light of current affairs in Europe and processes in the Middle East, their concepts have become even more relevant. In The End of History (1989), Fukuyama argues that because of the rise of modernization, the worldwide spread of Western consumer culture and liberal democracy as the prevailing political system, that the evolution of human ideology is at its endpoint and in the absence of a better alternative. In contrast, Huntington in The Clash of Civilizations (1993), argues that the biggest threat to Western civilization is a coming period that will be characterized by conflicts erupting as the world's civilizations reach their breaking points. This paper will consider both concepts and synthesize their opposing views on international political developments.
