Political order and political decay
From the Industrial Revolution to the Globalisation of Democracy
Book • 2014
In this book, Francis Fukuyama continues his exploration of the formation and decay of political societies, begun in 'The Origins of Political Order'.
He examines the development of modern political institutions from the French Revolution to contemporary times, including the impact of industrialization, colonialism, and the rise of global democracy.
Fukuyama argues that a well-functioning modern state requires a balance between a strong, efficient state, the rule of law, and democratic accountability.
He critiques the current state of American politics, highlighting issues such as 'vetocracy' and the judicialization of political processes, which he believes contribute to political decay.
The book also explores case studies from various regions, including Europe, Asia, and Latin America, to illustrate different paths of political development and decay.
