Very Revealing, from Mr. History’s End

February 23, 2004 by

“Critics of nation-building point out that outsiders can never build nations, if that means creating or repairing all the cultural, social, and historical ties that bind people together as a nation. What we are really talking about is state-building – that is, creating or strengthening such government institutions as armies, police forces, judiciaries, central banks, tax-collection agencies, health and education systems, and the like.” Francis Fukuyama, “Nation-Building 101,” The Atlantic Monthly (January-February 2004).
