花了两周看完福山这本书的英文原版。毫无疑问,当代政治家都应该看看这本书,从而让自己在历史的坐标中更清楚是站在哪个象限的。福山没有提出新的政治理论---显然,政治发展到今天也真没有什么新的理论可以nudge the way---他主要是总结政治史的脉络,在一番上穷碧落下黄泉的努...
评分 评分Political Order and Political Decay最大的遗憾不是在于它的内容,而是在于它对于福山本人的意义。本书发行后,许多评论认为它代表了自《历史的终结》之后,福山对于当代政治新的思考,象征他思想的转变。不得不说,这种看法实在过高估计了这本书的定位。 Political Order an...
评分读《政治秩序和政治衰败》这卷时,我突然冒出一个邪恶的想法:这书其实根本就不是福山写的,他只是列出一个提纲,然后让手下的博士生去按照提纲找找材料填进去,最后,像无数中国的博导一样,福山给这本断烂朝报署上自己的名字。剩余的时间呢,福山就可以全世界到处飞,参加高...
评分在福山新书《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...

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.
这本基本讲述近现代史,很多历史梳理得真的很好,把各大洲主要代表国家做了内部对比,深入浅出,除了觉得结尾部分并没有一一对应提出了解决办法(只写了大国,连欧洲内部问题怎么解决都没提)不太满意之外,作为门外汉的科普读物,真的写得很棒了。
评分年度最后一本书,献给福山
评分用了快俩月,终于读完了。
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。
评分扫盲和加深理解,断断续续读了近一年 clientelism, patronage, path of democratization, nation state building.
