    Open AccessN Eisenstadt, Shmuel N EisenstadtARTICLEDados2010Cited by: 3References: 9

    IN este artigo, considerando a estrutura analítica das múltiplas modernidades, analisamos algumas características distintivas do moderno sistema político e social japonês 1 .A hipótese básica da abordagem das múltiplas modernidades é a de que as ordens institucionais modernas de modernidade (as quais se desenvolveram com a institucionalização das ordens culturais e políticas da modernidade) não se desenvolveram de modo uniforme ao redor do mundo …

  • Collective identities, public spheres, civil society and citizenship in the contemporary era - with some observations on the Israeli scene

    N Eisenstadt, Shmuel N EisenstadtARTICLECitizenship Studies2008

    This paper falls into two sections. In the first certain macro-social changes that have transformed the nature of collective identities in the modern period are considered. In the second, how these have had an impact on Israeli society is considered. In the contemporary era there have been taking place in Europe – indeed throughout the world – far-reaching changes and transformation of public spheres, civil society and conceptions of citizenship,…

  • La sociologie politique et les expériences de modernisation des sociétés

    N Eisenstadt, Ν Eisenstadt et al.ARTICLESociologie et sociétés2002

    Après avoir signalé les ruptures et les continuités entre la théorie sociologique moderne et la pensée sociale et politique dont elle s'est progressivement détachée, l'auteur tente de situer la théorie politique par rapport à l'histoire de la sociologie politique occidentale et se propose de démontrer l'impact de la modernisation des pays non occidentaux sur la conceptualisation même des rapports entre la société civile et l'État, qui sont vus co…

  • L'éducation, la science, la technologie et les crises culturelles

    N Eisenstadt, Ν Eisenstadt et al.ARTICLESociologie et sociétés2002

    L'éducation et la connaissance n'ont pas joué le même rôle ni connu la même importance dans toutes les sociétés. C'est ainsi que l'auteur s'attache d'abord à décrire la place réservée au savoir, notamment au savoir spécialisé, dans les sociétés traditionnelles, le mode d'intégration de ce savoir à la vie sociale et le rôle de l'éducation dans le fonctionnement de ces sociétés. Il est ainsi amené à étudier la nature et les fonctions des mouvements…

  • Trust and Institutional Dynamics in Japan: The Construction of Generalized Particularistic Trust

    Open AccessN Eisenstadt, Shmuel N EisenstadtARTICLEJapanese Journal of Political…2000Cited by: 1

    Japan constitutes a very interesting and paradoxical case from the point of view of the place of trust in the processes of institution building and institutional dynamics. This problem has, of course, been the basic thrust of Durkheim's emphasis on the importance of precontractual elements for the fulfillment of contracts seemingly dealing with purely ‘utilitarian’ considerations. But this crucial insight – and problematic – has not been systemat…

  • The Civilizational Dimension in Sociological Analysis

    Open AccessN Eisenstadt, Shmuel N EisenstadtARTICLEThesis Eleven2000Cited by: 30References: 7

    The civilizational turn in sociological theory is best understood as an attempt to do full justice to the autonomy of culture (against all versions of structural-functional theory) without conceding the issue to cultural determinism. Civilizational formations are based on combinations of cultural visions of the world with regulative frameworks of social life, but the relationship between the two levels is open to conflicting interpretations and s…

  • The Construction of Collective Identities: Some Analytical and Comparative Indications

    Open AccessN Eisenstadt, Shmuel N EisenstadtARTICLEEuropean Journal of Social Theory1998Cited by: 8References: 7

    This paper is based on four assumptions concerning the analysis of the construction of collective identities. First, such construction, like power and economic relations, is an analytically autonomous basic component of the construction of social life. Second, such constructions have been going on in all human societies throughout history. Third, all such patterns of collective identity have been continually constructed from some basic yet contin…

  • The Paradox of Democratic Regimes: Fragility and Transformability

    Open AccessN Eisenstadt, Shmuel N EisenstadtARTICLESociological Theory1998Cited by: 5References: 35

    In most of the vast scholarly literature on constitutional-democratic regimes, the major emphasis has been on the broader social, economic, or cultural conditions conducive to their development, breakdown, or consolidation and continuity (Diamond 1993b; Diamond, Linz, and Lipset 1989, 1990). The major thesis of this essay is that fragility and instability are inherent in the very constitution of modern constitutional-democratic regimes, and are r…

    Open AccessN Eisenstadt, Shmuel N EisenstadtARTICLEInternational Political Science…1989Cited by: 3References: 17

    The explanation of historical change and especially of radical revolutionary change has been in the forefront of comparative sociological and historical analyses from the beginning. It was closely related to central problems of sociological analysis such as those of the nature of the basic constituents of social order, of the relationship between human agency, social structure and history, and of the relations between culture and social structure…
