Summary
This now-classic examination of the development of viable political institutions in emerging nations is a major and enduring contribution to modern political analysis. In a new Foreword, Francis Fukuyama assesses Huntington's achievement, examining the context of the book's original publication as well as its lasting importance. This pioneering volume, examining as it does the relation between development and stability, is an interesting and exciting addition to the literature.
