[edit] End of History

Barnett's line of thinking is very much an economically focused intellectual extension of Francis Fukuyama's The End of History? thesis, published in the international affairs journal The National Interest in 1989, and later being expanded into a book in 1992.

Really now. He doesn't sound that way to me at all?

In this presentation, the first book he mentions is 'The End of History and the Last Man'. — Sasuke Sarutobi (talk) 10:23, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Does Not Work

His ideas don't work. Since globalization has increased, conflicts certainly must have decreased if they would work. Instead, conflicts have increased as they always did since 1945. See http://www.hiik.de/konfliktbarometer/index.html.en. He may or may not know this. In any case, this leaves him clearly on the financial side of the coin, or even on the financial war side, if you prefer. --Rwst 18:01, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
