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.

In certain ways, things are not all that different in contemporary China. Instead of an emperor, there is a Chinese Communist Party sitting at the top of the government hierarchy,keeping watch over a vast and complex bureaucracy that rules well over a billion people. Like the eunuch spy network, the party hierarchy constitutes a structure parallel to that of the government, monitoring it and reporting abuses. The quality of the bureaucracy, particularly in its upper reaches, is high; the Chinese leadership has been able to guide the country through a miraculous economic transformation in the decades after 1978 that few other governments could have pulled off.

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。

不得不说对于历史政治变迁这样的话题，YouTube上有不少图文并茂，质量超过大众读物型书籍的内容

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。

花了将近半年读完。好书，虽然作者还是个西方新保守派（民主高于一切）。但对中国，印度，伊斯兰甚至丹麦的政治历史发展剖析的很好，也很让人长眼界。非常同意他说的每个国家最后政治的发展都跟他自己之前的历史和政治传统有很大关系。解释了为什么如今中国会是强权而印度则是一盘散沙等等..
