内容简介
······

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.

评论 ······

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

（5）一方水土养出了一方政治。政治发展的三个维度：国家建构、法治和问责。

作为一个中国人，在国外著作上看中国政治分析，看到Wu Zhao这个名字还愣了好半天才反应过来，惭愧。

holy fuck 后半本书简直是neocon/realist propaganda。怪不得一些原本还正常的豆友读完讲话很中了邪一样。fukuyama经常提出一些还算有意思的论据然后得出完全不相干的结论来支持现有国际秩序
