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.

American Political Science Review describes this pioneering volume: "examining as it does the relation between development and stability, is an interesting and exciting addition to the literature."
