Despite Kagan’s explicit dig at Francis Fukuyama in the book’s title, Fukuyama had made a similar argument for a Community of Democracies in his After the Neocons (London: Profile Books, 2007), 176–7. A similar argument is also made by Ivo Daalder and James Lindsay in ‘Democracies of the World, Unite’ , The American Interest, Vol. 2, No. 3 (January/February 2007).
