Francis Fukuyama is the Olivier Nomellini Senior Fellow at Stanford University’s Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies. He has previously taught at the Paul H. Nitze School of Advanced International Studies of Johns Hopkins University and at the George Mason University School of Public Policy. He was a researcher at the RAND Corporation and served as the deputy director in the State Department’s policy planning staff. He is the author of The End of History and the Last Man, Trust, and America at the Crossroads: Democracy, Power, and the Neoconservative Legacy. He lives with his wife in California.
Virtually all human societies were once organized tribally, yet over time most developed new political institutions which included a central state that could keep the peace and uniform laws that applied to all citizens. Some went on to create governments that were accountable to their citizens. We take these institutions for granted, but they are absent or are unable to perform in many of today’s developing countries—with often disastrous consequences for the rest of the world.
In The Origins of Political Order, Francis Fukuyama, author of the bestselling The End of History and the Last Man, provides a sweeping account of how today’s basic political institutions developed. The first of a major two-volume work begins with politics among our primate ancestors and follows the story through the emergence of tribal societies, the growth of the first modern state in China, the beginning of a rule of law in India and the Middle East, and the development of political accountability in Europe up until the eve of the French Revolution.
Drawing on a vast body of knowledge—history, evolutionary biology, archaeology, and economics—Fukuyama has produced a brilliant, provocative work that offers fresh insights on the origins of democratic societies and raises essential questions about the nature of politics.

評分前段時間亞馬遜這書打五摺34的時候我沒買,因為兜裏沒錢。後來150-30的時候,心動瞭一下,卻發現價格上去瞭,變成40.8 。雖然打完八摺比34低,但人心不足,既然有過34的,對40就感覺很不爽瞭。再加上這書有過刪節,還有不少翻譯的問題,買的欲望就降低瞭不少。(這句話可以看作...

評分福山的中國曆史觀 弗朗西斯-福山(Francis Fukuyama)是美國傑齣的政治學傢,曾被《外交政策》評為全球最具影響力的公共知識分子之一。他二十年前提齣的“曆史終結論”成為後冷戰時期的一大論題,至今人們還為此爭論不休。過去幾年,這位宣布曆史“終結”的學者轉頭探尋...

輝格曆史之範本,好吧我承認純粹是因為我看見寫這種通史的起手就少一星瞭(
評分50人打分9.3(考慮到原版以及頁數情況)相當高,GoodReads上也有1553個人評價平均4.00也不低——但為啥覺得福山就是一副死鴨子嘴硬兼死豬不怕開水燙的架勢呢?雖然我很喜歡

評分將political institutions分析為三個麵嚮:modern state, the rule of law, accountability. 如此有助分析過往和當今政治,而非陷入民主與獨裁的簡單論述陷阱。
