Document Summary
Fukuyama: democracy and the quality of the state . Some countries have been able to develop high-quality state administrations that deliver services to their populations with relative efficiency, while others are plagued by corruption, bloated or red- tape-ridden bureaucracies, and incompetence. Martin shefter argued that the existence of an effective bureaucracy in the present depends on the historical sequence in which state modernization was undertaken relative to the opening up of the franchise to broader democratic participation. Prussia was an example of chares tilley"s maxim that war makes the state and the state makes war, 2000+ years ago. In 1660, country was put on a permanent wartime footing. Prussia was almost extinguished during the wars of frederick the great, but this near-death experience both strengthened the centralized state and cemented prussia"s national identity as an army with a country.
