While the “ End of History ” thus was essentially an argument about modernization, some people have linked my thesis about the end of history to the foreign policy of President George W. Bush and American strategic hegemony. But anyone who thinks that my ideas constitute the intellectual foundation for the Bush administration’s policies has not been paying attention to what I have been saying since 1992 about democracy and development.
“历史的终结”基本上是有关现代化的论述，有人把我有关历史终结的论文同美国总统布什的外交政策和美国战略霸权联系起来。但是，认为我的观点构成布什政府政策的智识根基的人并没有注意到我从1992年以来一直就民主和发展问题发表的看法。
