25 years ago - a coincidence? 25 years ago, I turned 25 years of age. 25 years ago, back-stepping from today proper, Berlin began to scrap its famous wall. 25 years ago, South Africa started to scrap Apartheid when Frederik Willem de Klerk took office as Head of State. 25 years ago, the Kreml started to scrap Communism, with Gorbatchev proclaiming Perestroika. 25 years ago, Francis Fukuyama wrote his seminal essay The End of History in a bid to scrap the concept of the bi-polar world order. 25 years ago, Yugoslavia set the pace for postulating the politics of balkanisation. 25 years ago..... 25 years - further down the road: Which conclusions can we draw? Which lessons can we discern? Which future can we claim we aspire towards?
