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.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eA sweeping, masterful account of the struggle to create a well-functioning modern state, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePolitical Order and Political Decay\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e is destined to be a classic.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"EnglishBookHouse","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52752623862123,"sku":null,"price":1400.0,"currency_code":"PKR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0961\/7971\/6459\/files\/Political-Order-and-Political-Decay-EnglishBookHouse-2588884.jpg?v=1768234388","url":"https:\/\/www.thereadingtime.com\/products\/political-order-and-political-decay","provider":"THE READING TIME","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
