Conversations host Harry Kreisler welcomes Francis Fukuyama for a discussion of his new book, The Origins of Political Order.

The conversation moves on to focus on the problem of political order. Fukayama identifies his purpose in writing the new book, the importance of history and comparative studies to the development of his arguments, the relevance of insights from the biological sciences, and the role of ideas in institution building. He compares the evolution of the state in China and India and then assesses the relevance of the Chinese model of state power in an era of globalization. He then offers an analysis of the neo-conservative agenda. He concludes with advice for students as they prepare for the future.
Pensadores (115) – Harry Kreisler: Political Awakenings
Political Awakenings
Harry Kreisler, Executive Director Institute of International Studies, University of California at Berkeley
Conversations Host and Executive Producer Harry Kreisler discusses his new book, "Political Awakenings," and tells the story of the Conversations series. Kreisler traces the origins of program, describes his vision of the craft of interviewing, and talks about the ways technology dramatically increased access to the CWH program creating a global audience. He then discusses the origin of the book and its content. Choosing twenty interviews from the 485 in the Conversations archive he focused on those interviewees that stand out because they came to see their world in a radically different way, with important implications for The World. They embraced ideas and actions that implied an alternative way of perceiving politics. In this context, politics means more than party affiliation; it refers to an understanding of power relations. They applied these insights in a variety of arenas, whether world affairs, the
role of women in society, the impact on the environment of human behavior. In their own lives, the insights of these guests didnt just happen but were the consequences of life experiences that helped clarify the way things held together—moments of political awakening.
