| Sumario: | This article explores Ibn Khaldun’s theories and ideas about the causes
that lead to the rise and decline of civilizations. By emphasizing the
dynamic and interdisciplinary character of Ibn Khaldun’s methodology,
it systematically shows how moral, social, political, economic, geographical,
and cultural factors find their appropriate place in Ibn
Khaldun’s schemata. Unlike other studies of Ibn Khaldun’s contributions,
this article recasts his ideas in contemporary terminology and at
once making Ibn Khaldun’s analysis and prescriptions relevant. The
article also examines the central role of welfare, justice, and development
in statecraft, and provides a lucid model of a contemporary
Islamic welfare state whose muqusid include the material and moral
well-being of its citizens.
