Weak democracy spells doom for Africa

A few months ago I attended an open lecture by the famous pro- liberal democracy theorist Francis Fukuyama. Prof Fukuyama burst into the global limelight with the publication of his book, The End of History and The Last Man, in 1992.

Contextually set during the fall of the Berlin Wall and the collapse of USSR, the book theorised that Western liberal democracy and free market capitalism had relegated communism and other forms of socio-economic ordering to history.
