Ever since its emergence as a phenomenon, nationalism has been the political process that creates the context for the production of nations. These nations and nationalism then become the backdrop for new elites-desired salient identities galvanized by nationalism.1 This structuring is done either by significantly altering or upgrading the previous identit…

You can also look at Earth much more closely, on…

The history of early human advance is the history of harvesting prosperity from agricultural innovation. In India, the later Vedic texts (c. 3000–2500 BCE) make frequent references to agricultural technology and practices.Jia Sixie, drawing on over one thousand years of Chinese study in his Qimin Yaoshu, or Essential Techniques for the Common People (535 CE), asserts throughout his work the c…
The unifying methodology of modern econometrics was articulated by Trygve Haavelmo (1911- 1999) of Norway, winner of the 1989 Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences, in his seminal paper “The probability approach in econometrics”, Econometrica (1944). Haavelmo argued that quantitative economic models must necessarily be probability models (by which today we would mean stochastic). Determ…

Industrially drilled petroleum and its refined products have transformed life and landscapes around the world in ways that are often not visible or recognized. It is difficult to see petro-leum’s shaping force when it forms part of so many of the objects and materials that surround us: the fabric of our clothes, the toys of our children, the asphalt on which we drive, even the food we eat. Pe…

It might seem rather bizarre to claim that a return to the work of John Dewey can offer a greater appreciation of globalization and global democracy at the start of the twenty-first century. Dewey appears to be a creature of a wholly different epoch; born in 1859, the year Darwin published Origin of the Species and just short of eighteen months before the Battle of Fort Sumter, Dewey’s life w…

The global reach of online platforms and services as well as the globally synchro-nized flows of audiovisual content might suggest that the global media market is nowfully integrated.

Namun, di sisi lain, beberapa laporan menunjukkan peningkatan insiden konflik antar-agama, khususnya t…

Apabila revolusi sosial hanya bermakna barikade dan pertempuran di jalan, maka persiapan yang ada pikirkan itu adalah persiapan teknis.

The program adopted by the German Social Democracy at Erfurt in 1891 divides itself into two parts. In the first place it outlines the fundamental principles on which Socialism is based, and in the second it enumerates the demands which the Social Democracy makes of present day society.

The success story of economic growth in Southeast Asia over the past few decades is well known.

It led to deep economic integration of S…

The buffalo jabbed the horse with her sharp horns.…
