Death knell for Mahathirism?

About 20 years ago when Francis Fukuyama wrote about the rise and dominance of American-style liberal ideology, he was partially correct in his proposition that global politics will see the rise of the American Empire and the break up of the Soviet Union.

I recall this theme eulogised by the German rock group Scorpions in their song 'Winds of Change'.

Fukuyama, then an analyst with Washington-based neo-conservative think-tank Rand Corporation, became an American idol in political science, thanks to Time magazine and the American corporate media sympathetic to the cause/civilising mission of the American Empire.
