The second volume of the bestselling landmark work on the history of the modern state
Writing in The Wall Street Journal, David Gress called Francis Fukuyama’s Origins of Political Order “magisterial in its learning and admirably immodest in its ambition.” In The New York Times Book Review, Michael Lind described the book as “a major achievement by one of the leading public intellectuals of our time.” And in The Washington Post, Gerard DeGrott exclaimed “this is a book that will be remembered. Bring on volume two.”
Volume two is finally here, completing the most important work of political thought in at least a generation. 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. He examines the effects of corruption on governance, and why some societies have been successful at rooting it out. 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. 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.
A sweeping, masterful account of the struggle to create a well-functioning modern state, Political Order and Political Decay is destined to be a classic.
Francis Fukuyama is the Olivier Nomellini Senior Fellow at Stanford University’s Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies. He has previously taught at the Paul H. Nitze School of Advanced International Studies at Johns Hopkins University and at the George Mason University School of Public Policy. Fukuyama was a researcher at the RAND Corporation and served as the deputy director for the State Department’s policy planning staff. He is the author of The Origins of Political Order, The End of History and the Last Man, Trust, and America at the Crossroads: Democracy, Power, and the Neoconservative Legacy. He lives with his wife in California.
在福山新书《政治秩序与政治衰败》的扉页,刘瑜作序《如何到达丹麦》。这里面的丹麦自然不是真正地理意义上的丹麦。而是指一种美好如童话般的状态。具体到政治上,就是一个国家有法治、又民主,政府还高效而廉洁。 《政治秩序的起源》和《政治秩序与政治衰败》两本书是一脉相...
評分趁着国庆回程,终于读完福山这部大作。 本书为系列作品的第二卷,第一卷是《政治秩序的起源:从前人类时代到法国大革命》。在本卷中,福山延续了第一卷中“国家-法治-负责制政府”三大要件的框架,并沿用了详尽的历史叙事方法,进一步在后马尔萨斯时代的环境中引入“经济增长”...

格局、深度、結論、內容的平衡...都存在可指謫之處,但可讀性強,適閤普通讀者;譯本第24,25章顯然會有刪減...
评分比較感興趣的是“POLITICAL DECAY”的部分,篇幅比較少。作為門外漢,感覺這一本算是淺顯詳細(相應的失之泛泛和鬆散)。懷揣門外漢自覺,我應該還是會去迴頭讀第一部,但如果是對政治學有所瞭解的人,大概會覺得這本書缺乏架構與中心思想,流於錶麵瞭。

评分最近曆史的進程充分說明瞭所謂言之鑿鑿,不過是多彩的泡沫,越吹越大,總有一天要破掉。不過話說迴來,不破不立,也不一定是壞事兒
评分用瞭快倆月,終於讀完瞭。
