The collapse of the Soviet empire stands as a dramatic reminder
that political institutions are human creations that can be
designed more or less well. The question of what constitutes a
viable political order is as old as it is profound, and is a
central part of the works of such thinkers as Plato, Aristotle,
Machiavelli, Hobbes, Locke, Montesquieu, and the American
Founders.
In eighteen original essays, Political Order presents the work
of major scholars such as Robert Dahl, John Gray, Jennifer
Nedelsky, Pasquale Pasquino, James Scott, Karen Orren, Steven
Skowronek, Walter Dean Burnham, Morris Fiorina, and Norman
Schofield who address some of the most pressing questions about
political order. Under what conditions do we get political order
rather than political chaos? How is political order sustained once
it has been created? Do constitutions and electoral systems matter,
and if so how much? Is there one best type of political order, and,
if not, what is the range of viable possibilities and how should
they be evaluated?
