Stability and Change in the Modern Middle East
Author: Kjetil SelvikPublisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 0857719661
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 305
Book Description
In this ground-breaking book, aimed at new generation of students, Stig Stenslie and Kjetil Selvik provide a new introduction to the contemporary Middle East, using topical questions about stability and change as a way of interrogating the politics, economics and history of the region. How have regimes from North Africa to the Gulf perpetuated themselves in spite of the weakness of the Western-style state, the Islamist trend, and the destabilising effects of war and terrorism? What strategies have states used to control their societies, and how have both states and societies adapted over time? Both an accessible reference resource and a thought-provoking analysis, Stability and Change in the Modern Middle East introduces the key theoretical concepts for understanding the region and the freshest thinking on debates surrounding them, and brings the empirical material in to sharp focus through its unique thematic approach.

The Stability of Society
Author: Erik W. AslaksenPublisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3030402266
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 128
Book Description
In this book, Erik W. Aslaksen builds on the view and model of society introduced in The Social Bond (Springer 2018), which portrays society as an information-processing system, and as both the result of the information and of the environment in which the information processing takes place. The processing power is provided by the individual, but is also greatly enhanced by the interaction between individuals, forming the collective intelligence that drives the evolution of society. In particular, this book focuses on the stability of that evolution, an issue that is of increasing concern given the current polarisation of the world society, both politically and economically, and the resultant interference in the operation of the collective intelligence. When we approach society as a genus and its evolution as a sequence of species, such as the family, clan, fiefdom, kingdom, and nation-state, the development of the next species – the world society – is now being thwarted by the desire of a minority to maintain a hegemonial position that resulted from a singularity in the process.
Analysis of Change
Author: Uwe EngelPublisher: Walter de Gruyter
ISBN: 9783110149364
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 316
Book Description
By making both causal and process analyses possible, panel data has enjoyed increasing popularity in empirical science. In this compilation, several statistical techniques are presented in the face of a growing need to analyze panel data. Measurement error, missing data, heterogeneous populations and particular requirements for causal interference make the analysis of change more difficult. Readers will find up-to-date approaches covering a wide range of topics. Among these are loglinear and probit models, state space models, and structural equation and multilevel growth curve models of panel data.
