去年发展政治学领域出版了一本大部头的著作,那就是福山的《政治秩序的起源》(下册叫做《政治秩序与政治衰败》),这本书对政治秩序的研究从史前时代一直到当代社会,跨越度极大,且论述范围遍及全球。由于福山本人之前就因《历史的终结》一书而闻名,他本人又是亨廷顿的弟...
评分包括弗朗西斯•福山这样的人已经被中国的发展所折服了。福山的《政治秩序的起源》这本书,完全是按照中国的发展模式来写的,先讲国家能力,再讲法治政府,最后讲负责制的政府,参照的是中国的经验。 整个西方政治史的写作,一般都是从古希腊开始写,到中世纪,再到英国革命、...
评分趁着国庆回程,终于读完福山这部大作。 本书为系列作品的第二卷,第一卷是《政治秩序的起源:从前人类时代到法国大革命》。在本卷中,福山延续了第一卷中“国家-法治-负责制政府”三大要件的框架,并沿用了详尽的历史叙事方法,进一步在后马尔萨斯时代的环境中引入“经济增长”...
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...

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.
强政府、法治、民主问责的排列组合。浓缩成一章也就足够,写这么厚的书也是醉了。
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……
评分在特朗普当选后回过头读这本书,不得不佩服福山和亨廷顿的先见之明。民主因为中产阶级的崛起而诞生,也会因为中产阶级的衰落而衰落。三权分立分立下的美国政府被各种利益集团、国会议员所骑劫而一无是处。如此下去,美国必然步希腊和意大利的后尘。

评分上一本很好看,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
