This book provides a multi-disciplinary understanding of the processes of change in contemporary Syria as well as its historical, social, and cultural underpinnings. A number of distinguished anthropologists, historians, political scientists, and literateurs examine key issues such as the changing Syrian family, political factionalism, the sedentarization of nomads, bureaucratic corruption, rural-urban migration, the development of the Ba'th Party, Syria's political isolation, religious resurgence, and the continued importance of sects in Syrian life. This book strikes a balance between examining the consequences of Syria's geographical and strategic position in international politics and the implications of its internal and highly complex ethnic and class structure and culture. It argues that the religious culture of Syria is as important as the leadership of Asad and, more generally, that an understanding of Syrian politics must be matched by an understanding of Syrian society and culture.

We justify our actions in the present through our understanding of the past. But we live in a time when politicians lie brazenly about historical facts and meddle with the content of history books, while media differ wildly in their reporting of the same event. Frequently, new discoveries force us to re-evaluate everything we thought we knew about the past. So how can any certainty about history be established, and why does it matter? Lynn Hunt shows why the search for truth about the past, as a continual process of discovery, is vital for our societies. History has an essential role to play in ensuring honest presentation of evidence. In this way, it can foster humility about our present-day concerns, a critical attitude toward chauvinism, and an openness to other peoples and cultures. History, Hunt argues, is our best defense against tyranny. Introducing Polity’s Why It Matters series; in these short and lively books, world-leading thinkers make the case for the importance of their subjects and aim to inspire a new generation of students.

A Functioning Society written by Peter Ferdinand Drucker and has been published by Transaction Publishers this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2003 with Social Science categories.

Peter Drucker may be best known, especially in the United States, as a writer on business and management, but, in fact, these subjects are neither his first nor have they been his foremost intellectual concern. Most of his books on management deal less with strategy and results than with the nature of the corporation as an expression of human effort and a social institution. From the time of his intellectual apprenticeship in Europe to the present day, Drucker's primary concern has been community, in which the individual has status, and society in which the individual has function. He has brought together selections from his vast writings on these subjects in A Functioning Society. The materials in this volume are drawn both from his published books and from previously uncollected writings. Together, they present the full range of Drucker's thought on community, society, and the political structure, and constitute an ideal introduction to his ideas. The volume is divided into seven parts. The selections in parts 1 and 2 were mostly written during World War II and in the wake of the Great Depression. They seek to define the functioning society in the modern industrial world from a historical perspective, and to identify institutions that could recreate community, the collapse of which produced totalitarianism in Europe. Part 3 deals with the limits of governmental competence in the social and economic realm. It contains some of Drucker's most influential writings, concerned as he is here with the difference between big government and effective government. The chapters in part 4 explore the rise of organizations, or autonomous centers of power outside of government and within society. These include business corporations, but also universities, unions, hospitals, and community organizations. Part 5 contains chapters from Drucker's pathbreaking work on the corporation as a social organization rather than merely an economic one. This was a controversial concept in 1946; today it is taken for granted. The rise of the so-called “knowledge industries” forms the background for part 6, in which Drucker explores the meaning of the shift from a society, economy, and polity based on manual work and skill to one based on knowledge and knowledge workers. The concluding part 7 is devoted entirely to Drucker's long essay “The Next Society.” Here Drucker examines the emergence of new institutions and new theories arising from the information revolution and the social changes they are helping to bring about. In organizing these representative writings, Drucker has chosen to be topical rather than merely chronological, with each excerpt presenting a basic theme of his work. He selected his contributions as well for their literary quality and accessibility to the general reader. As is characteristic of his work, A Functioning Society will attract both the general reader as well as a cross-disciplinary scholarly readership.

The sixteenth and seventeenth centuries have traditionally been regarded by historians as a period of intense and formative historical change, so much so that they have often been described as ‘early modern' - an epoch separate from ‘the medieval' and ‘the modern'. Paying particular attention to England, this book reflects on the implications of this categorization for contemporary debates about the nature of modernity and society. The book traces the forgotten history of the phrase 'early modern' to its coinage as a category of historical analysis by the Victorians and considers when and why words like 'modern' and 'society' were first introduced into English in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. In so doing it unpicks the connections between linguistic and social change and how the consequences of those processes still resonate today. A major contribution to our understanding of European history before 1700 and its resonance for social thought today, the book will interest anybody concerned with the historical antecedents of contemporary culture and the interconnections between the past and the present.
