Francis Fukuyama biography
Few thinkers have reshaped our understanding of politics and society as profoundly as keynote speaker Francis Fukuyama, bestselling author of The End of History and the Last Man. His landmark thesis on the global rise of liberal democracy sparked worldwide debate and still influences leaders more than three decades later.
Fukuyama’s subsequent books—Trust, The Great Disruption, Our Posthuman Future, America at the Crossroads, The Origins of Political Order, Political Order and Political Decay, and Identity: The Demand for Dignity and the Politics of Resentment—all became bestsellers. In 2022 he added Liberalism and Its Discontents, a concise defense of classical liberal values amid mounting left- and right-wing critiques. The book received the Edwards Book Award in 2023.
A former deputy director of the U.S. State Department’s Policy Planning Staff and senior analyst at the RAND Corporation, popular speaker Francis Fukuyama is now the Olivier Nomellini Senior Fellow at Stanford University’s Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies and Director of the Ford Dorsey Master in International Policy. He also teaches at Stanford’s Center on Democracy, Development and the Rule of Law and serves on the boards of the Pardee RAND Graduate School and the Volcker Alliance.
Educated at Cornell (BA, Classics), Yale (comparative literature) and Harvard (PhD, Political Science), Fukuyama first drew notice with his dissertation on Soviet policy in the Middle East. Today his research spans technological change, the resilience of liberal institutions, and the cultural foundations of economic development—topics he addresses with the historical sweep and prescience that make his keynotes essential for organizations navigating an uncertain future.
