New evidence, culled from the Nablus advisory council (majlis al-shūrā) records and based on an actual Ottoman population count taken in December 1849, indicates that the city's population at that time numbered at least 20,000 people, more than twice the frequently cited figure of 8,000–9,000. This revision raises serious doubts about the veracity of hitherto commonly accepted population figures, most of them based on contemporary estimates by Western observers, for the various regions of Palestine during the first three-quarters of the 19th century. Moreover, when compared to available data for Nablus from the 16th and the late 19th centuries, it seems that the pattern of Nablus's demographic development differs from what the proponents of Ottoman decline and modernization theses have argued.2 Instead of decreasing during the so-called dark ages of Ottoman decline in the 17th and 18th centuries, Nablus's population increased significantly; and instead of growing robustly during the so-called period of modernization in the second half of the 19th century, it appears to have leveled off.

Resumen. En el siglo XIX, en varios países europeos se publicaron guías y manuales de viajeros, estas obras contenían información útil para los viajeros acerca de un país o una ciudad en específico, como la historia del lugar, sus principales edificios y monumentos, servicios comerciales y lugares de esparcimiento. En México, las guías y manuales de viajeros publicados fueron escritos por personajes como Marcos Arróniz, Juan Nepomuceno Almonte y Juan N. del Valle, miembros o simpatizantes del Partido Conservador Mexicano. Con la finalidad de contrarrestar la mala imagen del país derivada de la inestabilidad política y las guerras, los autores plasmaron una imagen positiva, exaltando su historia, las costumbres de sus habitantes y el desarrollo económico. Abstract. During the 19th century were published guides and traveler manuals in several European countries; these works contained useful information for travelers about a country or city in particular, as the history of the place, its main buildings and monuments, commercial services and recreational places. In Mexico, those guides were written by people like Marcos Arróniz, Juan N. Almonte and Juan N. del Valle, members or supporters of the Mexican Conservative Party. With the purpose of counteract the bad image that the political instability and wars had given the country, the authors molded a positive image, extolling its history, economic development and the manners of its inhabitants.

“Zemsky Sobor” was one of the key concepts in Russian political discourse in the 19th and the beginning of the 20th centuries. It can be traced to the notion well-known already since the 17th century. Still in the course of further evolution it received various mew meaning and connotations in the discourse of different political trends. The author of the article examines various stages of this concept configuring in the works of the Decembrists, especially Slavophiles, and then in the political projects and publications of the socialists, liberals and “aristocratic” opposition.

This article explores in what ways political economy as an analytical framework for developmental studies has contributed to scholarships on Indonesian’s contemporary discourse of development. In doing so, it reviews important scholarly works on Indonesian political and economic development since the 1980s. The argument is that given sharp critiques directed at its conceptual and empirical utility for understanding changes taking place in modern Indonesian polity and society, the political economy approach continues to be a significant tool of research specifically in broader context of comparative politics applied to Indonesia and other countries in Southeast Asia. The focus of this exploration, however, has shifted from the formation of Indonesian bourgeoisie to the reconstitution of bourgeois oligarchy consisting of the alliance between the politico-bureaucratic elite and business families. With this in mind, the parallel relationship of capitalist establishment and the development of the state power in Indonesia is explainable.<br>
