- Summary
- "Fukuyama begins State-Building with an account of the broad importance of "stateness." He rejects the notion that there can be a science of public administration and discusses the causes of contemporary state weakness. He ends the book with a discussion of the consequences of weak states for international order and the grounds on which the international community may legitimately intervene to prop them up."--BOOK JACKET.
