Essay from the year 2006 in the subject Politics – General and Theories of International Politics, grade: 1.0, The Australian National University, language: English, abstract: In the midst of the turbulent political and economic transformation during 1989, Francis Fukuyama
declared the “end of history” in his [in]famous article, intending to seal the coffin of communist
ideology once and for all, declaring the western camp as the winner of the cold war and more
importantly of liberal capitalism over communism.1 However, a peculiar question remains for
students of International Relations.2 Is it still worth studying Marxist theory today since the former
communist Soviet Union and its satellites, no longer practice a [certain and often-incoherent]
version of Marxist ideology?
This paper does not attempt to advocate a utopian klassenlose society in conjunction with radical
and totalitarian outgrowths that had been developed during the 20th century from Stalinist gulags to
the Maoist Cultural Revolution. Despite this, this paper aims to show the merits of Marxist theory,
especially the concept of historical materialism, and how, in at least three respects, it adds to the
study of International Relations.
