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.
推荐把这本书和《On China》以及《枪炮,钢铁,细菌》一起读颇有意思。这本《Origins》的作者因为在苏联解体后声称“历史的终结”,也就是说西方的“民主自由”作为最终的社会形态已经胜利,历史已经结束了所有的发展,而在西方名声大嘲。作为美国政府智库的重要成员,他的作品...

评分 评分一 政治秩序的起源,在于群居动物,都会形成一种“秩序”或者“结构”,这种秩序或结构,就是政治,就是政治秩序或政治结构。蚂蚁有,蜜蜂有,猴子也有,就像纪录片《猴子王国》所展示的那样。在一些蚂蚁社会,存在工蚁,就像许多电子游戏中那些专门挖矿的劳工,我印象中他们总...
福山达到了“他说的就是我想的”这一最高境界。虽然福山介绍的很多案例都已耳熟能详,但他这一纵横万年的世界史依然颇有新意,让人耳目一新,果然是大师手笔
评分神作。
评分反复读中英文版,仍然无法赞同。奇妙的是从来没有读过post-french revolution那一半。
评分将political institutions分析为三个面向:modern state, the rule of law, accountability. 如此有助分析过往和当今政治,而非陷入民主与独裁的简单论述陷阱。
评分这个书找很久了,国内翻译的都看不下去= =糟践福山啊
