Identity: the desire for recognition and a policy of rejection. Francis F.

In recent years, people around the world have become more and more attention to paying their identity - national, racial, tender, religious. This global trend, according to Francis Fukuyama, the author of the bestseller “End of history and the last person”, is a decisive factor for the effective work of the social mechanism, whether in the countries of the East, Southeast Asia, the United States or Scandinavia. In his new book, Fukuyama explores the origins of our desire to recognize dignity and analyze the consequences of the influence of the policy of identity on the liberal world order in the era of populism. The task that Fukuyama sets himself is to prove that the rights of the individual underlying the liberal idea can not only lead to individualistic fragmentation of societies, but also create the basis for social consolidation.
