Samuel Huntington, almost half century ago, explained how the state capacity is fundamental to guarantee order in societies in transition. Francis Fukuyama, recently, recuperated this concept arguing that a strong effective state is fundamental for stability of democratizing countries. But strong institutions are not enough to make democracy and political order compatible: institutions need to be also inclusive, to foster participation and respect the freedom of all parts of society, including ethnic minorities.
