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.
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.
面对世界局势的发展特别是中国的崛起,福山又将研究重心从民主制度转向国家能力和有效政府,在2014年出版了《政治秩序与政治衰败》。 1. 人类社会存在三种基本政治制度:政府、法治和负责制,三种制度的平衡才能带来发展和繁荣。 政府为“中央集权的、等级分明的组织”,政府的...

上一本很好看,这一本就是自己的三板斧碎碎念,偶尔有点养分,整体比较无聊
评分学术价值不敢妄评,但至少对非专业人士来说这本书还是普及了很多知识。最关键的一点,即使是民主制度,也并非在所有的环境下都能带来好的结果。专制制度就更不用说了。归根到底还是要有一个灵活和能适应各种变化的体制。中国的长处在于历史上一直拥有强力有效的政府部门,缺点则是缺乏法治和问责。中国的中产阶级目前也还不够壮大到能为民主提供稳固健康的根基,难以阻止民主流于民粹和裙带关系。如果中国的中产阶级在发展壮大之后仍然满足于开明专制体制,那可能就说明中国在文化上的确是不同的……
评分最近历史的进程充分说明了所谓言之凿凿,不过是多彩的泡沫,越吹越大,总有一天要破掉。不过话说回来,不破不立,也不一定是坏事儿
评分半年的时间总算把福山这本大部头给读完了,他对政治秩序三大支柱的论述以及对当今美国政治衰败的批评仍然回荡在脑海之中。我们国内很多人在看了福山的这两本政治秩序的著作之后简单地认为他已经放弃了自己的历史终结论,但在仔细阅读他的论述之后发现并非如此。借用一句经典的名言,可以很好地概括他对于民主和民主制的态度:前途是光明的,道路是曲折的。
评分为了在我导面前有逼可装,通宵读完,太喜欢福山的博学风格了,文笔流畅,有许多洞见。
