ICCEDI is an international seminar that is held every two years organized by the Law and Citizenship Department, Faculty of Social Science Universitas Negeri Malang. The activities aim to discuss the theoretical and practical citizenship education that becomes needed for democracy in Indonesia and other countries with a view to build academic networks by gathering academics from various research institutes and universities. Citizenship education is an urgent need for the nation in order to build a civilized democracy for several reasons. Citizenship education is important for those who are politically illiterate and do not know how to work the democracy of its institutions. Another problem is the increasing political apathy, indicated by the limited involvement of citizens in the political process. These conditions show how citizenship education becomes the means needed by a democratic country like Indonesia. The book addresses a number of important issues, such as law issues, philosophy of moral values, political government, socio-cultural and Pancasila, and civic education. Finally, it offers a conceptual framework for future democracy. This book will be of interest to students, scholars, and practitioners, governance, and other related stakeholders.

"In Bioregionalism and Civil Society Mike Carr outlines an alternative to the economically, environmentally, and politically unsustainable movement of globalization. He argues for the potential of bioregionalism as a place-specific, social, cultural, and community economic movement within democratic civil society that can stand in opposition to the homogenizing trends of corporate globalization. He also explores the bioregional movement in the United States, Canada, and Mexico, examining its vision, values, strategies, and tools for building sustainable societies." "By integrating civil society theory with social and natural ecologies, Carr offers a practical approach to creating an economically, environmentally, and culturally sustainable world. Bioregionalism and Civil Society addresses and urgent need in industrialized societies for both theoretical and practical frameworks that promote new, sustainable methods of living."--Jacket

Studies the impact neo-traditionalism has on the religious and political subjectivities of Muslims in the WestShows the importance of neo-traditionalism in the changing conceptions of religious orthodoxy, religious authority and spirituality for young Muslims in the WestStudies primarily – although not exclusively – three neo-traditionalist shaykhs: Hamza Yusuf, Abdal Hakim Murad and Umar Faruq Abd-Allah Analyses how neo-traditionalist shaykhs construct the notion of ‘tradition’ concerning what they perceive to have been lost in modernity Examines the political implications to their critiques of modernity – as it pertains to political quietism, race and genderThis book examines the salience of neo-traditionalism in Anglo-American Muslim communities. By tracing the scholarship and impact of the key public pedagogues (shaykhs) associated with this phenomenon – Hamza Yusuf, Abdal Hakim Murad, and Umar Faruq Abd-Allah, Quisay shows how their critiques of modernity is solidified as political ideals and strategies. The shaykhs guide their community of followers and students – known as ‘seekers of sacred knowledge’ – to paradigmatic critique of modernity that emphasises the importance of reconnecting with the tradition, self-purification, religious orthodoxy, and advocating for the notion of traditional metaphysical worldview and recognition and deference to spiritual (and political) authorities. In secluded, spiritual retreats – held by the shaykhs – the seekers hope to opt out of the disenchanted modern in search for a form of re-enchantment where neither the modern world nor the particularities of their modern subjectivities can intrude. The enticement of re-enchantment, however, proves problematic in the face of modern political power.

¿Es la sociedad civil una categoría meramente normativa, sin uso en la investigación empírica? ¿De dónde viene y a dónde va el debate sobre la sociedad civil en México y en América Latina? Para avanzar en la respuesta a esas preguntas se han reunido aquí una serie de provocativos ensayos de distinguidos académicos nacionales y extranjeros quienes, compartiendo una común preocupación por la democratización sustantiva de la vida social, participaron en un seminario sobre Sociedad Civil, Movimientos Sociales y Democracia, celebrado en El Colegio de México durante los primeros meses de 1996. Este libro reúne en una sola obra dos preocupaciones que normalmente corren paralelas: la construcción teórica y la investigación empírica. En estas páginas se hallará tanto un debate teórico de altura como una serie de ensayos que ofrecen lecturas de la sociedad civil realmente existente desde una diversidad de perspectivas disciplinarias: la antropología, la sociología, la ciencia política. Lejos de cerrar una discusión, este libro abre nuevas avenidas a uno de los debates más sustantivos de nuestra época.
