Francis Fukuyama - Political scientist

Duration: 30 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC NewsLatest broadcast: on BBC News Channel HD

Stephen Sackur talks to Francis Fukuyama, one of America's leading political scientists who, 25 years ago, watched the communist bloc unravel and concluded that history had delivered a conclusive verdict - liberal democracy had vanquished its ideological rivals.
