In The Origins of Political Order, Francis Fukuyama took us from the dawn of mankind to the French & American Revolutions. Here, he picks up the thread again in the second instalment of his definitive account of mankind`s emergence as a political animal. This is the story of how state, law & democracy developed after these cataclysmic events, how the modern landscape
- with its uneasy tension between dictatorships & liberal democracies
- evolved & how in the United States & in other developed democracies, unmistakable signs of decay have emerged. If we want to understand the political systems that dominate & order our lives, we must first address their origins
- in our own recent past as well as in the earliest systems of human government. Fukuyama argues that the key to successful government can be reduced to three key elements: a strong state, the rule of law & institutions of democratic accountability. This magisterial account is required reading for anyone wishing to know more about mankind`s greatest achievements.
