Huntington's 1968 political science classic, Political Order in Changing Societies, a book Fukuyama regards as quintessential reading for anyone seeking a roadmap to political development in the western world.
First, he wanted to update the information in Samuel P. In the preface, Fukuyama explains his twofold motivation for writing the book. In 2014, Fukuyama released a sequel entitled Political Order and Political Decay: From the Industrial Revolution to the Present Day. Fukuyama's findings better illuminate why so many of the United States' modern state building efforts, from Iraq to Somalia, have largely failed by examining the historical context for these failures.
And he boldly reckons with the future of democracy in the face of a rising global middle class and entrenched political paralysis in the West.Ī sweeping, masterful account of the struggle to create a well-functioning modern state, Political Order and Political Decay is destined to be a classic.In his nonfiction book The Origins of Political Order: From Prehuman Times to the French Revolution (2011), American political scientist and economist Francis Fukuyama explores the components of what it takes for a state to maintain its political stability. He explores the different legacies of colonialism in Latin America, Africa, and Asia, and offers a clear-eyed account of why some regions have thrived and developed more quickly than others. He examines the effects of corruption on governance, and why some societies have been successful at rooting it out. Taking up the essential question of how societies develop strong, impersonal, and accountable political institutions, Fukuyama follows the story from the French Revolution to the so-called Arab Spring and the deep dysfunctions of contemporary American politics. Volume two is finally here, completing the most important work of political thought in at least a generation.
