| Summary/Abstract |
ALL GREATEST LITERARY CREATIONS of antiquity, be it the Mahabharata, the Bible, the Iliad and the Odyssey, the Avesta, the Kalevala and others tell us about conflicts, confrontations, struggle, and wars as the most important events in the history of mankind. This creates an impression that at all times people knew no other occupations but wars or preparations for new wars once the previous war was over and that mankind appeared on Earth and lived on it to fight and to destroy itself. Progress was and is limited to consistent upgrade of the old and invention of new types of deadly weapons rather than develop personality, its abilities, talents, and spirituality.

| Summary/Abstract |
Holy Land Crusades were among the most significant forms of military mobilization to occur during the medieval period. Crusader mobilization had important implications for European state formation. We find that areas with large numbers of Holy Land crusaders witnessed increased political stability and institutional development as well as greater urbanization associated with rising trade and capital accumulation, even after taking into account underlying levels of religiosity and economic development. Our findings contribute to a scholarly debate regarding when the essential elements of the modern state first began to appear. Although our causal mechanisms—which focus on the importance of war preparation and urban capital accumulation—resemble those emphasized by previous research, we date the point of critical transition to statehood centuries earlier, in line with scholars who emphasize the medieval origins of the modern state. We also point to one avenue by which the rise of Muslim military and political power may have affected European institutional development.

| Summary/Abstract |
The mere mention of Henri Lammens, Society of Jesus (SJ), provokes unease, notorious as this militant “priest-scholar” has become in postcolonial circles. Yet his failings notwithstanding, Lammens has been a victim of the academic conceits and biases of postmodernist postcolonialists through whose prisms he often emerges as a cantankerous, inflammatory, Christian polemicist, hell-bent on defaming an otherwise blameless, innocent, beatific Islam. This article suggests that a more nuanced gaze be cast at Henri Lammens, the man and missionary, before judging his scholarship; a corrective of sorts, shedding light on the life and times of a Belgian boy, who traveled East at the tender age of fifteen, who fell into the snare of Near Eastern Christians, and who set out to write their history and restore their suppressed memories—doing so not without the passion and affection of the neophyte.

| Summary/Abstract |
This article maps the historical analogies of the war on terrorism used by the Bush administration. It identifies four historical analogies of the war on terrorism present in the US political and academic discourse since the attacks on 11 September 2001. These are the war on terrorism as: (a) the Second World War; (b) the Crusades; (c) the Vietnam War; and (d) the Cold War. These analogies have been a constant presence in the US discourse, although the analogy with the Crusades has been more prominent in the academic discourse than in the political. There is, moreover, no conclusive pattern of when and how these analogies have been used, suggesting that we cannot use them to evaluate how well the war on terrorism is progressing. This also indicates that the Bush administration, with one exception, was not successful in framing the policy agenda in a certain direction regarding the war on terrorism. Understanding the war on terrorism as a new Cold War, for example, still implies different policy measures such as roll-back and containment.

| Summary/Abstract |
IN RESPONSE to my lamenting about how difficult it is to choose a topic for an article at New Year, a historian I know said with a shrewd wink: "Write about New Year 'in reverse.'" Anticipating my bewilderment, he went on to say that he has long used this kind of exercise; he chooses a recent date and, reading it in reverse, tries to reinstate what was happening in world history at that distant time.
