Abstract

Having examining three possible explanations why the notion of development has lost its significant, the author proposes to rehabilitate it by reinventing the notion of public agency. The notion of development lost its significance due to the absence of steering agency, namely the absence of institution to consciously manage private character of political economic performance in the pursuit of common good. Government and public policy has lost its nature as public agency, and rehabilitate the notion of government to restore the sense of public within it.

Abstract

The growing revival of religious sentiments in the past few decades exposes serious faults in the explanatory power of the so-called modernization theories, urging social scien- tists to seek new avenues in understanding the phenomena. The article focuses on the way the present character of religious fundamentalism needs to be understood not as a form of traditionalism but as one of the springboard effects inseparable from hybrid modernity. In particular, it highlights the tension between religious fundamentalism and democracy as revolving around at least two points. One is the antinomy between diver- sity as the sine-qua-non of democracy and the absolutist tendency of fundamentalist beliefs, and the other a collision between the secular and sacral conceptions of sovereignty. By learning from the debates on the place of religion in the public sphere, the article outlines some points for the prospect of co-existence between religion and democracy.
