چکیده:
Since social capital is one of the ground of social science, and in recent decades it get much importance that it was called invisible wealth, this article has paid attention to the comparative study of this concept with the Asabiyah of Ibn Khaldun who used this key word to analyze the social and political disorders of this time and he knows it a consolidating and uniting factor. In fact, the main goal of this study is to answer this question that whether we can update the Asabiyah of Ibn Khaldun according to the theories of social capital? Theoretical framework of this study is based on the theory of Gidenz and, its supplementary, ideas of Putnam. The set of presented arguments were resulted in this that although these two concepts have some in common, they have some differences which distinguishes them from each other in some respects. Thus, it can be inferred of differences of these two concepts that Asabiyah couldn’t be updated completely (however religion is still the main factor of solidarity in most societies specially our society, confederacy which also nowadays is formed regionally and universally, are some items which help to the possibility of updating the Ibn Khaldun theory of Asabiyah with new society) .On the other hand, Ibn Khaldun lived in a time and place with which Asabiyah was blended while in present modern societies race and lineage have been replaced by law and competence. In this way, the possibility of updating is cancelled in this case.
خلاصه ماشینی:
Asabiyyah is also one of the key concepts and the foundation of Ibn Khaldun's political and social ideas, which means connection and cohesion that arises from family ties, oath-taking, and covenants.
The goal of this research is also to examine the similarities and differences between Ibn Khaldun's Asabiyyah and social capital in order to achieve the possibility of updating the concept of Asabiyyah.
Then, by following the same strategy in examining the concept of social capital, an attempt has been made to identify the common and different highlights of these two concepts, and finally, the possibility of applying Ibn Khaldun's views on Asabiyyah has been evaluated with the help of a theoretical framework.
Theoretical Framework Given that in this article, social capital is examined comparatively with Ibn Khaldun's discourse of Asabiyyah, the two key concepts of the article are examined in two different social frameworks, namely modern and pre-modern society.
). ـــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــ 1 Status The importance of social capital in the economic development of a society is such that it can be considered a key factor in economic prosperity, but on the condition that the government provides the grounds for its growth and expands networks of trust through civil institutions.
In fact, the best platform for increasing social capital and Asabiyyah is the existence of peace, security, private property, and the absence of government dominance in the economy, which are considered key elements of economic prosperity in society.
