American scholar Francis Fukuyama was world-famous for his theory about democracy and global capitalism would be "The End of history". However, as time went on, this view of Fukuyama suffered questioned by many scholars, and falsified by history. Facing the problem of reality, some countries was too weak even finally failed, Fukuyama began to shift from "the end of history" to the theory of political development. In his newly published two volumes of political book "The Origins of Political Order " and "Political Order and Political Decay ",Fukuyama began to explain how to generate and develop political order from the logical structure of the internal evolution of the historical process of human society. He used vivid examples to show us the dynamic model of political development, tells the constituent elements of the representative of modern democracy as British and American, the state, the rule of law and accountable government. He did not stop at the root, he further explores the path to realize the real freedom democracy. In the process of constructing of democracy, is certainly lead to success (Arrived in Denmark) or failure, the result of failure is political decay that describe at great length in the second volume, he recognized that the success of the political system is complex and contingent, accompanied by the political system evolution is often political decay, it can be shown for the rigid system and family system restoration. In order to avoid the decline, Fukuyama reordered the three elements, this order is extremely important, democracy is no longer ranked in first place, but the state is, only the strong national governance capacity to better ensure the sound development of politics. The decline of political operations in the increasingly prominent, problem of low efficiency of management was caused by judicatory with administrative characteristic and interest groups, it hinder the development of the United states. Fukuyama are actually well-intentioned reform in the United States for theoretical guidance, hope that the US can improve its current status of institutional decay. Fukuyama studies and discusses about China at great length in the research process, but in fact his assessment of China model is a kind of faint praise attitude, he still believes that China is an authoritarian country, the lack of rule of law and accountability of government. With rapid economic development, China has become an important role in the world today, Fukuyama is still criticized constantly on China’s political system, seize roots of traditional Chinese culture status. weak rule of law and democracy to criticize China, but have to admit, in Fukuyama sort of democracy, precisely in line with China’s development path initially asked him, and he could not refute it. He still insisted to the end of history also is a western style liberal democracy, only in the implementation of the road full of twists and turns, but this does not affect his confidence for freedom and democracy, which is the core idea of Fukuyama has been.
