Francis Fukuyama

Si quieres entender la política del siglo XXI, éste es tu libroEn algún momento a mediados de la segunda década del siglo XXI, la política mundial cambió drásticamente. Desde entonces, ha estado guiada por demandas de caracter identitario. Las ideas de nacion, religion, raza, genero, etnia y clase han sustituido a una nocion mas amplia e inclusiva de quienes somos: simples ciudadanos. Hemos construido muros en lugar de puentes. Y el resultado es un creciente sentimiento antiinmigratorio, ademas de agrias discusiones sobre victimas y victimarios y el retorno de politicas abiertamente supremacistas y chovinistas. En Estados Unidos, el declive de las instituciones ha facilitado el auge de una serie de aventureros politicos cuyo nacionalismo economico y tendencias autoritarias amenazan con desestabilizar el orden internacional. Pero tambien en Europa estan surgiendo nacionalismos populistas que buscan una conexion directa y carismatica con el pueblo, que a menudo se defi ne con unos terminos identitarios restringidos que dejan fuera a gran parte de la ciudadania. Francis Fukuyama, uno de los pensadores politicos mas importantes de las ultimas decadas, hace un alegato urgente y necesario en defensa de la recuperacion de la politica en su sentido mas elevado y generoso. Un ensayo compacto y combativo sobre la importancia de conformar una idea de identidad que profundice en la democracia en lugar de destruirla.Inteligente, perspicaz... Necesitamos mas pensadores tan sabios como Fukuyama.Inteligente y provocador.Una denuncia de los tiempos peligrosos que vivimos hoy en dia.Un libro inteligente que viaja a gran velocidad por un terreno complicado hasta llegar a una conclusion sensata.El famoso politologo argumenta de manera convincente, y con urgencia, que el deseo del reconocimiento de la propia dignidad es inherente a todo ser humano, y es necesario para una democracia prospera... Un analisis convincente de los terribles peligros que amenazan a la democracia.Ambicioso y provocativo... Es probable que este trabajo erudito provoque debate.Como manual sobre el gran cambio politico de nuestros tiempos, que explica como hemos llegado hasta aqui, este libro hay que leerlo.

With the fall of Berlin Wall in 1989 the threat of the Cold War which had dominated the second half of the twentieth century vanished. And with it the West looked to the future with optimism but renewed uncertainty.The End of History and the Last Man was the first book to offer a picture of what the new century would look like. Boldly outlining the challenges and problems to face modern liberal democracies, Francis Fukuyama examined what had just happened and predicted what was coming next.Now updated with a new afterword, Fukuyama shows how the central issue today remains the same. Have any political and economic models arisen that could challenge liberal democracy as the best way of organizing human societies? He remains unconvinced.Tackling religious fundamentalism, politics, scientific progress, ethical codes and war, The End of History and the Last Man is as compelling today as it was when it was written - and just as provocative too.'Awesome . . . a landmark . . . profoundly realistic and important . . . supremely timely and cogent' Washington Post'Clearly written, immensely ambitious' New York Times'Clever, important, teeming with original ideas' Mail on Sunday'We are indebted to Fukuyama for such an ambitious work of political philosophy' Foreign Affairs

In 1989, Francis Fukuyama began an explosive debate about the future of the world in the post-Cold War era with an article entitled The End of History and the Last Man. This seminal book expands on his original work to address the fundamental and far-reaching themes of the new millennium. The result is nothing short of an historical and philosophical primer for the onslaught of the 21st century.

Part two of the most important book about the history and future of politics since The End of History.In The Origins of Political Order, Francis Fukuyama took us from the dawn of mankind to the French and American Revolutions. Here, he picks up the thread again in the second instalment of his definitive account of mankind''s emergence as a political animal.This is the story of how state, law and democracy developed after these cataclysmic events, how the modern landscape - with its uneasy tension between dictatorships and liberal democracies - evolved and how in the United States and in other developed democracies, unmistakable signs of decay have emerged.If we want to understand the political systems that dominate and order our lives, we must first address their origins - in our own recent past as well as in the earliest systems of human government. Fukuyama argues that the key to successful government can be reduced to three key elements: a strong state, the rule of law, and institutions of democratic accountability.This magisterial account is required reading for anyone wishing to know more about mankind''s greatest achievements.
