 Socialization of law is one of the forces that opposes political decay within Huntington's structure of modernization, by ensuring that the political institutions in place are resistant to social instability.Huntington's former student, Francis Fukuyama, has developed the theory of political decay by analysing the sclerosis of democratic institutions in the United States and elsewhere.The second of Fukuyama's two volumes on political order, "Political Order and Political Decay" (2014), echoes the title of Huntington's seminal 1965 essay.
