International sources of political order in the People’s Republic of China: a lacuna in the Fukuyama framework

Abstract

Fukuyama’s conception of political order centers on the state, the rule of law, and popular accountability, but does not adequately account for how international factors affect these elements of contemporary governance. Focusing on the history of the People’s Republic of China (PRC), the article notes how international sources of political order shaped each element of Fukuyama’s framework: conflict and war strengthened the PRC’s state apparatus, international institutions helped provide the rule of law that undergirded China’s economy growth, and international norms influenced how the Chinese state sought and received popular legitimacy. Each of these factors will continue to influence the political development of the PRC going forward.
