In The Origins of Political Order, Francis Fukuyama took us from
the dawn of mankind to the French and 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 and democracy developed after
these cataclysmic events, how the modern landscape - with its
uneasy tension between dictatorships and liberal democracies -
evolved and how in the United States and in other developed
democracies, unmistakable signs of decay have emerged. If we want
to understand the political systems that dominate and 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 and
institutions of democratic accountability. This magisterial account
is required reading for anyone wishing to know more about mankind's
greatest achievements.
