The purpose of this symposium is to reexamine the role of politics and economics in shaping civilizations and inter-civilizational relations by applying Khaldunian perspective(s) to specific cases. Today, the structure of the world economy is fast changing. So is world politics. These two forces have a strong impact on individuals, societies, civilizations and their relations with each other. For Ibn Khaldun civilization is a fluid phenomenon which constantly changes under the pressure of political and economic forces while the laws of change remain constant. The central question of this symposium is: How can we apply Khaldunian perspective(s), concepts, methods and theories to today’s world with a particular focus on the role of politics and economics on social change?
Bu sempozyumun amacı siyaset ve ekonominin medeniyetleri ve medeniyetler arası ilişkileri şekillendirmedeki rolünü Halduncu bakış açılarından incelemektir. Günümüzde dünya ekonomisinin ve dünya siyasetinin yapısı hızla değişmektedir. Ekonomi ve siyasetin bireyler, toplumlar, medeniyetler ve bunlar arasındaki ilişkiler üzerindeki etkisi inkar edilemez. İbn Haldun için medeniyet, siyasi ve ekonomik güçler tarafından sürekli şekillendirilen, akışkan ve değişken bir olgudur; fakat sosyal değişimin kuralları sabittir. Bu sempozyumun ana sorunsalı da Halduncu bakış açılarını, kavramları ve teorileri günümüz dünyasındaki toplumsal değişimleri incelerken, özellikle siyaset ve ekonominin rolüne odaklanarak nasıl kullanabileceğimizdir.
يهدف المؤتمر إلى معرفة دور السياسة والاقتصاد في تكوين الحضارات والعلاقات فيما بينها من منظور / أو مناظير خلدونية. ففي يومنا هذا تشهد بنية الاقتصاد العالمي والسياسة العالمية تغيرات سريعة، ومن الملاحظ مدى تأثير الاقتصاد والسياسة على الأفراد والمجتمعات والحضارات والعلاقات فيما بينها بحيث لا يمكن إنكار ذلك. والحضارة في تصور ابن خلدون هي تأثير القوى السياسية والاقتصادية في تشكيل الحضارة على الدوام، والحضارة في حالة تدفق وعرضة للتغيرات، إلا أن قواعد التغيرات الاجتماعية ثابتة. والإشكالية الرئيسة في هذا المؤتمر هي كيفية استخدام وجهات النظر الخلدونية ومفاهيمها ونظرياتها في التغيرات الاجتماعية الحاصلة في عالمنا اليوم وخاصة من خلال التركيز على الدور السياسي والاقتصادي.

Vacancy at the University of Oslo
The University of Oslo and The Faculty of Theology has a vacancy for a full-time Associate Professor with a particular obligation to engage in research, teach and supervise in the field of religion and society/interreligious studies. Thematically, methodologically and theoretically, this field is still under development. It involves broad interdisciplinary collaboration between the faculty’s own teaching staff and colleagues from other relevant areas at the university. Several PhD candidates work in the field. In addition to forming the basis for the Religion and Society study programme and for the continuing education programme in interreligious studies, the field also has an important role in the university’s inter-faculty research network, PluRel (Religion in Pluralistic Societies).
