State building,is often used to describe the design and construction of national macrocosmic institution.Nations building thought is about system design and system of the construction of the relevant theory.Fukuyama's national construction thought is the main research object of the emerging third world countries after independence,trying to seek a new way for the development of these "failed countries".In today's world,global events such as war,disease,drugs and terrorism are frequent,and both the first and the developing countries face the problem of insufficient national capacity,Fukuyama argues that it is this weakening situation triggered a series of global crisis.Thus,Fukuyama especially emphasizes national capacity,and its national construction theory also revolves around national capacity building.Fukuyama from the system demand and system supply two aspects,the system construction carried out a more in-depth discussion.In Fukuyama view,only the local countries can in-depth understanding of their own traditions and national conditions,Therefore,the national construction work should be done by the local state rulers to do,rather than external forces for indirect rule.There are three ways to build it: a comprehensive system design,copying foreign systems and drawing on foreign models according to local conditions.Fukuyama stressed that the use of national system design must be adapted to local conditions.Fukuyama believes that the success of national construction depends on whether the national construction is preceded or synchronized with the national construction.The ultimate goal of national construction is to build small and strong modern nation-state.He starts from the two-dimensional framework of the concept of the state,distinguishing two important dimensions of the national concept: the scope of government functions and the strength of the state.Through the accurate grasp of the concept of the country,Fukuyama has come to the conclusion that "the sign of the modern and effective state is the smaller government and the strength of the state".Finally,Fukuyama from the perspective of maintaining the world order,a country's national construction and the international level of democratic legitimacy linked to do a discussion.In addition,his follow-up to the proposed state,the rule of law and accountabilitysystem of "trinity" of the political development concept to improve and broaden the ideological content of his sate building theory.On the whole,Fukuyama's theory of "state construction" provides a new solution for the current global problem,and also provides an important reference for the developed countries and the developing countries to get out of the development dilemma.However,the fallacy of this theory and the essence of Western hegemonism hidden behind it can not be ignored.Therefore,we should correctly and objectively look at Fukuyama's thought of state building.In the process of the construction of modern countries,to its dregs and local conditions to learn from the rational elements of their ideas.
