Abstract
Liberal Languages reinterprets twentieth-century liberalism as a complex set of discourses relating not only to liberty but also to welfare and community. Written by one of the world's leading experts on liberalism and ideological theory, it uses new methods of analyzing ideologies, as well as historical case studies, to present liberalism as a flexible and rich tradition whose influence has extended beyond its conventional boundaries. Michael Freeden argues that liberalism's collectivist and holistic aspirations, and its sense of change, its self-defined mission as an agent of developing civilization--and not only its deep appreciation of liberty--are central to understanding its arguments. He examines the profound political impact liberalism has made on welfare theory, on conceptions of poverty, on standards of legitimacy, and on democratic practices in the twentieth century. Through a combination of essays, historical case studies, and more theoretical chapters, Freeden investigates the transformations of liberal thought as well as the ideological boundaries they have traversed. He employs the complex theory of ideological analysis that he developed in previous works to explore in considerable detail the experimental interfaces created between liberalism and neighboring ideologies on the left and the right. The nature of liberal thought allows us to gain a better perspective on the ways ideologies present themselves, Freeden argues, not necessarily as dogmatic and alienated structures, but as that which emanates from the continuous creativity that open societies display.Liberal Languages reinterprets twentieth-century liberalism as a complex set of discourses relating not only to liberty but also to welfare and community.

A look at S&T Awareness - Enhancements in IndiaChandra Mohan Nautiyal (SISSA, Scuola Internazionale Superiore di Studi Avanzati, 2008-06-01)Basing mainly on author's direct involvement in some science communication efforts in India, and other reports, this contribution depicts and analyses the present science communication/ popularization scenario in India. It tries to dispel a myth that rural people don't require or don’t crave for S&T information. It discusses need for science and technology communication, sustaining curiosity and creating role models. Citing cases of some natural, 'unnatural' and organized events, it recounts how S&T popularization efforts have fared during the past decade and a half. It's made possible using print, AV and interactive media which, at times, require lot of financial inputs. However, this contribution shows that a number of natural and other phenomena can be used to convince people about power of S&T and in molding their attitude. The cases cited may be from India, but, with a little variation, are true for most of the developing and under- developed societies.

Klasik Dönemde Osmanlılarda Devlet Yönetim Anlayışına Dair Bazı DüşüncelerAbdüllatif Armağan (Gazi University, 2011-12-01)The Ottoman Empire, a Turco-Islamic state, developed a combined organisation of state, depending on the laws of Islam, traditions and the former applications of state on the conquered lands. The chief concern of the Ottoman administrative structure was to extend the supreme authority of the Sultan. The central and provincial administration and the Army were submitted to the Sultan’s absolute authority. The Ottoman rule at the centre was composed of the Sultan and the Sultan’s Palace. The official centre of administration consisted of the Sultan, the Grand Vizier, the Palace, the Divan- Hümayun and the Army. Additionally, the Kul System flourished the Sultan’s realm in the remote areas of the Empire. This study touches upon both information and some thoughts on the inital state organisation and functions of the Empire, its state concept and administration, law, central administration, Divan-ı Hümayun, the Tımar(fief) and the Kul Systems in the Ottoman Classical Age.
