- Summary:
- Only thirty years ago, some scholars predicted the world would smoothly transition into a unified political-economic institution. Some even proclaimed that it would be "the end of history," expecting all nations to adopt a market economy and democracy. But that's not how it turned out. There are still nations denying democracy to its citizens and maintaining dictatorships, while some exist in a power vacuum. How can we make sense of the existence such diverse institutions?
