GOVERNMENT, THE
INTELLECTUAL AND
SOCIETY IN THE THIRD
WORLD
Taysir N. Nashif
Ph.D. degree in Political Science from
the State, University of New York,
Binghamton
Developing countries are facing
fateful challenges in various fields
and are suffering from a low level
of development in the educational,
economic, administrative and cultural
fields. Their underdevelopment is
embodied in a litany of ills : poverty, ignorance, illiteracy, squandering
of financial resources, deprivation, subjugation to foreign
rule, governmental tyranny, oppression and despotism, lack of intellectua
freedom, inadequacy of acquired modern technology and
applied science, antiquated methods of teaching and intellectual
inertia. These are the result of centuries long internal and external
interactive factors.
The chapters of this book, treat differences in personality and
behavior between the politician and the intellectual, and the strong
influence the politician exercises on the intellectual and on society
as a whole. In this treatment of the subject, considerable attention is
given to the dynamic relationship among the cultural, psychological,
political and economic factors that form the socio-political fabric
and constantly influence it.
A major thesis in the book is the dynamic nature of social phenomena.
The developing peoples, including all their official and unofficial
social structures in the broadest sense, will not be able to put an end
to their underdevelopment without becoming aware of the dynamism
of human concepts, and without realizing that politics, which is a
way to gain influence with a view to achieving certain goals, is the
main feature of social relations.

FOREIGN DIRECT
INVESTMENT AND
POLITICAL RISK
Ashok Chatterjee
Political risk is often cited as an
element in the determination of
location specific advantages for
foreign direct investment. The purpose
of the dissertation was to create a
conceptual structure in which various
identified elements of political risk
could be synthesized as different facts
of one unified phenomenon and
thereafter to attempt the construction
of ex ante indicator of political risk on its totality.
An attempt has been made to apply the ideas and concepts belonging
to one discipline in a totally different area.

KAUTILYA'S
ARTHASASTRA
A COMPARATIVE STUDY
Narasingha P. Sil
This study compares Kautilys's
Arthasastra to the writings of three
eminent Western Political thinkers;
Plato, Aristotle and Machiavelli.
Although such an exercise is not a new
one, this book, nevertheless claims,
albiet modestly, to present a new
interpretation. According to this
author, Kautilya is not a
'Machiavellian' nor Machiavelli
himself a 'Machiavellian' in the strict sense of the term. At the same
time Kautilya is not a 'bigger man' than Machiavelli. Nor is he a
philosopher in the sense Plato and Aristotle are. Yet his claim to fame
rests squarely on the fact that this vision of a righteous state guided
by Dharma is shared by Plato and Aristotle. Even Machiavelli, for
whom success alone counts for greatness, recognizes the value of a
state founded on Virtus and Arete when he declares that the Roman
Republic is worthy of emulation not only because it is 'so successful'
but also because 'there has never been any other city or any other
Republic so well adroned'.

ESSAYS ON ISLAMIC
ECONOMICS
M. M. Metwally
This book is a clear exposition of
Islamic economics, covering all the
aspects of Islamic economic life. In the
ten erudite chapters, the discussion
ranges from the basic principles of
Islamic economics to the role of the
stock exchange in an Islamic
economy. There is no Muslim country,
at present, which can be called an
Islamic economy (i.e., an economy
which follows wholly the Islamic laws
in a strict fashion and in which these
laws are enforced by faith and civil laws). Historical comparisons are
not available, either. The experiences of early Islamic economics are
often not directly relevant today since the earlier economics were
much less complex than those of contemporary Muslim countries. A
growing number of Muslim countries are expressing the desire, and
in some cases (Iran, Pakistan and Saudia Arabia) are taking serious
actions, to turn to Islamic laws and teachings (Shariah) in modelling
their way of life, including their economic behaviour.
The book is also written for students of comparative economic
systems. Since many of these are Non-Muslims, with little or no idea
about Islamic religion, the book, wherever necessary, introduces the
reader to the relevant Islamic principles before examining their
economic implications. New proposals for the effective functioning
of the financial system in an Islamic economy are offered in the last
two Chapters. This book relies heavily on the quantitive approach in
the development of the theoretical foundation of Islamic economics
and in deriving empirical evidence relating to the economic
behaviour of the contemporary Islamic societies. This book assumes
some knowledge of economic theory in the part of the reader.
