Abstract: This article looks at the power actors and the political elites, who always have a position, strategic and nominations in the course of the nation’s history, which often have the power to direct and designing the history of the nation. The emergence of a modernist discourse on Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) is very concerning. NU regarded as a political organization has no significant role to play down organizing political change and the substitution of elite political power actors directly. Because the domain of thinking than often become conservative, countrified, superstitious, think old-fashioned, opportunistic chameleon, inconsistent, corrupt, cultured syncretic and other. Internally, NU as experienced a ‘stagnation of thought’. At the same time, it has not yet found a vision regarding the role and contribution of NU to Indonesia in the global context. Nu as an organization that has abundant millennial generations, certainly has a very strategic role in the effort to create a golden Indonesia 2045. Efforts are needed to explore things in the tradition that can support transformation. NU must be able to concentrate itself on taking care of people's problems in the social, community, education, health, empowerment, economic, religious, politics, and so on, which may be more fundamental for the Indonesian people. Abstrak: Artikel ini membahas aktor-aktor kekuasaan dan elit politik, yang selalu memiliki posisi, strategis, dan nominasi dalam perjalanan sejarah bangsa, yang sering memiliki kekuatan untuk mengarahkan dan merancang sejarah bangsa. Munculnya wacana modernis mengenai Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) sagatlah miris. NU dianggap sebagai organisasi politik tidak mempunyai peran yang signifikan untuk turut mengatur perubahan politik dan pergantian aktor-aktor kekuasaan dan elit-elit politik secara langsung. Hal ini dikarenakan ranah berfikir yang sering menjadi konservatif, kampungan, percaya takhyul, berfikir kuno, oportunis, berwatak bunglon dan plin-plan, korup, berbudaya sinkretis, dan lainnya. Secara internal NU seperti mengalami ‘stagnasi pemikiran’. Pada saat yang sama, belum menemukan visi terkait bagaimana peran dan kontribusi NU terhadap Indonesia dalam konteks percaturan global. Nu sebagai organsasi yang memiliki generasi millennial berlimpah, tentu memiliki peran sangat strategis dalam upaya mewujudkan Indonesia emas 2045. Diperlukan ikhtiar untuk menggali hal-hal dalam tradisi yang bisa mendukung transformasi. NU harus mampu mengkonsentrasikan diri untuk mengurus persoalan-persolan umat di bidang sosial, masyarakat, pendidikan, kesehatan, pemberdayaan, ekonomi, keagamaan, politik dan sebagainya, yang mungkin lebih fundamental bagi bangsa Indonesia.

The main function of the amil zakat institution lies in the activities of collecting, distributing, and utilizing zakat. The activity of collecting zakat in the history of Islam, is an activity or effort of amil in collecting zakat by picking up or taking from the place of amil.

It is believed that the economic participation of women in Pakistan has been intensively affected by an enduring male-capitalist social system. Moreover, the history of gender discrimination has been linked with the medieval cultural values that uplifted and empowered men over women in every sphere of life, especially in the economic realm. A typical case is believed to be the Pashtun culture. This chapter investigated indigenous values of Pashtun culture where women are underrepresented in the economy. Women did not see themselves as underprivileged. Rather, they perceived themselves as a vital and prestigious part of the family and the wider Pashtun society. For educated women in Pashtun society, the values system is guided by social structure, which is accounted for by stability and unity in society. Cultural values are operationalized as the mechanism of division of labor. The findings redefine female empowerment and propose a new paradigm in the global context. The indigenous value system guides the social structure which leads to stability and unity in the society.

This essay presents a critical account of the social and political history of postcommunist Romania from the time of the violent overthrow of Nicolae Ceauşescu’s communist dictatorial regime in 1989 to the writing of the essay in 1995. King Michael chronicles the processes through which power in Romania following 1989 was quickly seized by representatives of the former Communist Party and the communist secret police (Departamentul Securităţii Statului or Securitate). Led by Ion Iliescu, a former communist leader and one-time protégé of Ceauşescu, a powerful group of politicians came to dominate the National Salvation Front, an originally anticommunist political organization that held power following the coup. Through manipulation of the media and voting processes and imposition of a flawed new constitution, Iliescu ensured the ascendancy of his Party of Social Democracy during the first half of the 1990s. The essay critiques the course of events and laments the faltering pace of both economic and political reform resulting from the stagnant Romanian political situation and the persistence of former communist leaders in government. Additionally, although not as its central focus, King Michael argues that a restoration of the Romanian monarchy could help to stabilize and improve the country’s political fortunes.

This article explores the social history of Suriname’s first bauxite town, Moengo, founded in the late 1910s. It recounts the rise of a new industry that drew workers away from the plantations and urban artisanal occupations to work in a massive, highly organized and orchestrated organization-cum-social community. Using oral narratives about life in Moengo, as well as census and other statistical data, this contribution asks whether everyday life in the mining enclave echoed features of the plantation.

ABSTRACTIn this article, the origins of the modern metropolis are reconsidered, using the example of Cairo within its Ottoman and global context. I argue that Cairo's Azbakiyya Garden served as a central ground for fashioning a dynastic capital throughout the nineteenth century. This argument sheds new light on the politics of Khedive Ismail, who introduced a new state representation through urban planning and music theatre. The social history of music in Azbakiyya proves that, instead of functioning as an example of colonial division, Cairo encompassed competing conceptions of class, taste and power.

In Islam there is an element of Sufism which is a very significant part of the existence of transformative Islam. From this transformative Islam the term transformative Sufism emerged. The transformative Sufism process will begin and center on marifah and tauhid. In the context of transformative Sufism, understanding of haqîqah starting from all the realities that bring people to the level of maahrifah must be realized / contextualized into the social-community context. Transformative Sufism is commonly found in Sufism assemblies in Indonesia, one of which is in the Maiyahan Mbah Nun Majlis (Ainun Nadjib) in Jogjakarta Province and Majlis Zikir Manakib Sheikh Abdul Qodir Al-Jailani KH. Ahmad Muzakki Syah in Jember Regency. These majlis events are interspersed with the planting of values ​​and the development of Islamic teachings and nationalities, so that finally the event in this assembly can be beneficial for changes for the community, especially the istiqamah pilgrims who attend this majlis. Both of these assemblies are based on Ahlussunnah Wal Jamaah Nahdlatul Ulama (NU). As is known, through the direction and guidance of KH. Hasyim Asy'ari and strengthened again by KH. Ahmad Siddiq and KH. Abdurrahman Wahid, NU institutionally acknowledged and established the Pancasila values ​​as the final basis for the Indonesian nation.


Urban life as we know it in the Mediterranean began in the early Iron Age: settlements of great size and internal diversity appear in the archaeological record. This collection of essays offers a systematic discussion of the beginnings of urbanization across the Mediterranean, from Cyprus, through Greece and Italy, to France and Spain. Scholars in the field look critically at what is meant by urbanization, and analyse the social processes that lead to the development of social complexity and the growth of towns. The introduction to the book focuses on the history of the archaeology of urbanization and argues that proper understanding of the phenomenon demands loose and flexible criteria for what is termed a ‘town’. The following eight chapters examine the development of individual settlements and patterns of urban settlement in Cyprus, Greece, Etruria, Latium, southern Italy, Sardinia, southern France, and Spain. These chapters not only provide a general review of current knowledge of urban settlements of this period, but also raise significant issues of urbanization and the economy, urbanization and political organization, and of the degree of regionalism and diversity to be found within individual towns. The three analytical chapters which conclude this collection look more broadly at the town as a cultural phenomenon that has to be related to wider cultural trends, as an economic phenomenon that has to be related to changes in the Mediterranean economy, and as a dynamic phenomenon, not merely a point on the map.

The social and political organization and the power culture of an important medieval city-state constitute the glue of the essays recollected here. The approach to the history of Genoa concerns different aspects, which lie outside from the mere small town reality, with raids on the territory especially in Riviera di levante. It is a history of enterprising men, which project in different directions their own ambitions and their desire to achievement. The homely strategies, the social dynamic, the language of institutio and society come together to outline the unsettled orders of Genoa which tries, unsuccessfully, to come in the fifteenth century to government and representation forms similar to ones completed in others Italian spheres.
