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 constituents. We take these institutions for granted, but they are absent or are unable to perform in many of today’s developing countries\u2014with often disastrous consequences for the rest of the world.<\/p>\n

Francis Fukuyama, author of the bestselling\u00a0The End of History and the Last Man\u00a0<\/i>and one of our most important political thinkers, provides a sweeping account of how today’s basic political institutions developed. The first of a major two-volume work,\u00a0The Origins of Political Order<\/i>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 the 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.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
