This is a useful book that serves as a very solid foundation for understanding the topic... if you can get through it. Huntington is famous for his perspicacity, taking entire pages to say what could be adequately conveyed in a sentence, and though this was one of his earlier works, he does not disappoint in that regard. (You get used to it.) (

In an age of rationalized authority, centralized bureaucracy, and totalitarian dictatorship, the American political system remains a curious anachronism. In today's world, American political institutions are unique, if only because they are so antique.

In functions and power American presidents are Tudor kings. In institutional role, as well as in personality and talents, Lyndon Johnson far more closely resembled Elizabeth I than did Elizabeth II. Britain preserved the form of the old monarchy, but America preserved the substance. Today America still has a king, Britain has only a Crown.

An institution is an organization which is valued for its own sake by its members and others. An organization to which everyone can belong or must belong is less likely to become an institution than one in which membership is a scarce resource.

In modernizing society "building the state" means in part the creation of an effective bureaucracy, but, more importantly, the establishment of an effective party system capable of structuring the participation of new groups in politics.
