  • The Legend of Shirin in Syriac Sources. a Warning Against Caesaropapism?
    ORIENTALIA CHRISTIANA CRACOVIENSIA 2 (2010) Jan W. Żelazny Pontifical University of John Paul II in Kraków The legend of Shirin in Syriac sources. A warning against caesaropapism? Why was Syriac Christianity not an imperial Church? Why did it not enter into a relationship with the authorities? This can be explained by pointing to the political situation of that community. I think that one of the reasons was bad experiences from the time of Chosroes II. The Story of Chosroes II The life of Chosroes II Parviz is a story of rise and fall. Although Chosroes II became later a symbol of the power of Persia and its ancient independence, he encountered numerous difficulties from the very moment he ascended the throne. Chosroes II took power in circumstances that today remain obscure – as it was frequently the case at the Persian court – and was raised to the throne by a coup. The rebel was inspired by an attempt of his father, Hormizd IV, to oust one of the generals, Bahram Cobin, which provoked a powerful reaction among the Persian aristocracy. The question concerning Chosroes II’s involvement in the conspiracy still remains unanswered; however, Chosroes II was raised to the throne by the same magnates who had rebelled against his father. Soon after, Hormizd IV died in prison in ambiguous circumstances. The Arabic historian, al-Tabari, claimed that Chosroes was oblivious of the rebellion. However, al-Tabari works were written several centuries later, at a time when the legend of the shah was already deeply rooted in the consciousness of the people.

  • The Path to Secular Democracy in Afghanistan: Through Educational Reform and Rule of Law
    THE PATH TO SECULAR DEMOCRACY IN AFGHANISTAN: THROUGH EDUCATIONAL REFORM AND RULE OF LAW A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of The School of Continuing Studies and of The Graduate School of Arts and Sciences in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Liberal Studies By Fatima Popal, B.A. Georgetown University Washington, D.C. April 8, 2011 THE PATH TO SECULAR DEMOCRACY IN AFGHANISTAN: THROUGH EDUCATIONAL REFORM AND RULE OF LAW Fatima Popal, B.A. MALS Mentor: Gregory Havrilak, Ph.D. ABSTRACT Since the early 1970s, when the third major historical wave of democratization began, the Muslim world has seen little evidence of improvements in reaching for this new wave of political reform. As more and more countries around the world are embracing openness, transparency and power sharing in governance, Islam has become an important point of reference in debates about how the Muslim nation states should be governed. In spite of the “democracy gap” in many Muslim countries, history shows that Islam is not inherently incompatible with freedom, secularism, modernism and democratic values. This thesis explores Afghanistan and its possible path to secular democracy. It focuses on establishing a secular democracy with a concentration on educational reform and rule of law in order for political, social and economic reform. In order to validate the hypothesis, the methodology used was divided into four principal parts. First, analyzing the political history of Afghanistan and demonstrating that modern democratic initiatives have been the quest of the Afghan political forces for years. Secondly, reviewing the process of democratization of Turkey and Indonesia and using their models as a blueprint for necessary reforms while considering the relevant lessons from past political experiences in order to create a practical framework.

  • 1 Conclusion
    Conclusion: Emerging Issues in the Study of Church-State Relations Zsolt Enyedi INTRODUCTION The contributors to this volume have analysed recent developments in church and state relations in various European countries. They investigated particular dimensions of these relations, and pointed at new research directions in the field. On the basis of the analyses they present, one may identify eight major tasks lying ahead for political scientists who study the interpenetration of religion and politics in the European context. These tasks involve 1. the study of the dynamics of contemporary church- state relations, 2. the extension of existing theoretical frameworks to take account of east European developments, 3. the re-assessment of the significance of denominational differences for the links between churches and state, 4. the scrutiny of the links between national identities and discrimination among churches, 5. the analysis of the impact of European integration, and of the development of global governance, 6. the conceptual clarification and operationalisation of the different dimensions of church and state relations, 7. systematic mapping of the strategic options of the churches in twenty-first century Europe, and, finally, 8. establishing the nature of the links between church-state regimes and the national political structures. Some of these topics are age-old, but new developments or obsolete conceptual tools necessitate their revisiting, while others stem from recent political processes. THE DYNAMICS OF CHURCH-STATE RELATIONS Church and state relationships are, as is the case with other national institutional structures, the products both of historical traditions and of conscious, rationally planned, and democratically legitimised statecraft. But, there are probably few areas where modern norms are as much in contradiction with inherited structures.

  • Authority Codes: the Invariance Hypothesis

Baum University of Pittsburgh, Department of Sociology Autoritätscodes: Die Invarianzhypothese In halt: Anders als ältere Theorien zeigen die Ergebnisse der neueren Forschung, daß in industriellen Gesellschaften die politischen Ordnungen nicht konvergieren. Fußend auf diesem Befund stellt der vorliegende Beitrag als Kontinui­ tätsfaktor sozialer Modernisierung namentlich die Codes politischer Autorität heraus. Hauptfunktion derartiger Stile ist es, wie sich zeigt, die Identität einer Gesellschaft im Generationenwandel aufrechtzuerhalten, sie zu vertiefen und zu schützen. Abstract: Contrary to much earlier theory recent findings demonstrate that polities are not on a converging course in industrial societies. Exploiting this finding, this paper focuses on authority codes as a factor of continuity in moder­ nizing change. The main function of such invariance in authority codes is the maintenance, enhancement, and pro­ tection of societal identity from generation to generation. Introduction There was a time, not too long ago, when the con­ in such variance relative to some earlier stage of ventional wisdom of political sociology designated social evolution, and invariance denotes neither democracy as political modernity. Non-democratic one nor the other but continuity in such cross- forms of political regime appeared as various mo­ societal variance since a specified stage of evolu­ des of „tradition“, destined to be superceded by tion despite and through modernizing change oc­ democracy as a product of universal modernizing curring after the specified stage.

  • JRAT 005 01 008 Van Der Zweerde.Indd
    Interdisciplinary Journal for Religion and Transformation in Contemporary Society 5 (2019) 136–164 brill.com/jrat Between Mysticism and Politics: The Continuity in and Basic Pattern of Vladimir Solov’ëv’s Thought Evert van der Zweerde Faculty of Philosophy, Theology and Religious Studies, Radboud University Erasmusplein 1, 6525 HT Nijmegen, Netherlands [email protected] Abstract Vladimir Solov’ëv, informal “founder” of the current of Russian religious philosophy which gained some prominence in the early 20th C with thinkers like N. Berdyaev, S. Frank and S. Bulgakov, based his social and political philosophy as well as his pro- gram of “Christian politics” (an attempt to bring the world as close to the Kingdom of God as possible, while steering clear from any idea of “building” God’s Kingdom on Earth) on a series of personal mystical encounters with Sophia, understood by him as, simultaneously, Eternal Femininity, Divine Wisdom and World Soul. The paper argues that this vision remained the foundation of his entire world- view, despite the fact that he initially articulated a more “utopian” vision of a world- encompassing “free theoc- racy,” while later in his career he elaborated, in Opravdanie dobra [The Justification of the (Moral) Good], a more realistic, but still “ideal-theoretical” vision of a just Christian state. Highlighting the tension between Solov’ëv’s advocacy of a free and plural sphere of public debate and his own “prophetic” position based on privileged access to divine wisdom, the paper ends with a discussion of the intrinsic and unsolvable tension be- tween religion and politics, and with the claim that there is a fundamental opposition between holistic mystical visions and a recognition of the political, understood as the ubiquitous possibility of both conflict and concord among humans.

His powerful personality laid the foundations of post-classical European civilization; his reign was eventful and highly dramatic. His victory at the Milvian Bridge counts among the most decisive moments in world history, while his legalization and support of Christianity and his foundation of a 'New Rome' at Byzantium rank among the most momentous decisions ever made by a European ruler (Encyclopediae Catholicae, 1911). The king (regnum) and the priest (sacerdotium) have always been the two centers of power and authority in human society and government. Until modern times the most common form of government in the world unifi ed these two powers in one way or another. Caesaropapism is a political system in which the head of the state is also the head of the church and supreme judge in religious ma ers. The term is most frequently associated with the late Roman, or Byzantine, Empire. The concept of caesaropapism had refl ections in daily life, in the political system, religion etc. Many states adopted this political system which was modifi ed later in diff erent form thanks to his power. Keywords: Caesaropapism, Constantine the Great, refl ection, today. Introduction The term was created by the great sociologist Max Weber .

The secularization of Islam has taken its course and its political characteristics have weakened. In the process of globalization of economy, politics and culture, the development of all countries became uneven and imbalanced. In the mid-to-late 20th century, it turned out that the secularization and modernization advocated by the nationalist had failed to effectively solve the development problems which the Muslim countries faced. This made Islam continue to strengthen its position in both domestic and international political life of Muslim countries. The traditional religious identity has become a powerful tool for the domestic cohesion and international fight against power.

This harmonious relationship, if there was one, was mired in conflict between the secular and ecclesiastical rulers in Byzantium. What were these conflicts, how were they worked out between them, and how do these conflicts affect our understanding of the existence of a symphony of powers? Was the Emperor also a priest? I hypothesize that the concept of a harmonious relationship between the Basileus and Patriarch was more honored in the breach than in the observance.
