Όταν υπάρχει πόλεμος, ασχολούνται όλοι με τα κοινά
ενώ αν περάσει μεγάλο χρονικό διάστημα χωρίς πόλεμο
αδιαφορούν, και επικρατούν όχι οι πατριώτες,
αλλά ο ατομισμός και οι απατεώνες
Ibn Khaldun 14ος αιώνας

In historical dynamics,
'asabiyyah (social cohesion or group feeling) is the fundamental force driving the cyclical rise and fall of civilizations, according to the 14th-century philosopher Ibn Khaldun.
The Core Concept of 'Asabiyyah
Ibn Khaldun, in his seminal work The Muqaddimah, defined 'asabiyyah as a powerful bond that unites a group, fostering loyalty, shared purpose, and a willingness to act and sacrifice for the common good. It is a potent blend of kinship, shared experience, and collective consciousness that is particularly strong in nomadic or tribal societies living in harsh conditions, where mutual aid is essential for survival.
The Cyclical Dynamics of Power
The theory posits a natural, cyclical process through which the strength of 'asabiyyah determines the trajectory of a dynasty or state:
Modern Relevance and Application
The concept of 'asabiyyah remains relevant in modern social science and cliodynamics (the study of long-term historical processes using mathematical models).
Απατεώνες επικρατούν και ατομικισμός
Βλέπεις τους πολιτικούς, και είναι απαράδεκτοι ντενεκέδες
Οι επιστήμονες και οι επιχειρηματίες, δεν ασχολούνται με την πολιτική
λόγω ειρήνης
και οι κλέφτες και οι ντενεκέδες έγιναν πολιτικοί και καταστρέφουν τα πάντα

The Cyclical Dynamics of Power
The theory posits a natural, cyclical process through which the strength of 'asabiyyah determines the trajectory of a dynasty or state:
- The Rise: A group with strong, vigorous 'asabiyyah—often originating from the tough, frugal peripheries of an existing empire—challenges and eventually overthrows a weaker, more decadent power structure. Their unity and discipline are their primary strengths.
- The Peak: The group establishes a new state and consolidates power. The initial generations maintain much of the foundational 'asabiyyah, leading to a period of stability, expansion, and cultural flourishing.
- The Decline and Fall: Subsequent generations, born into privilege and urban luxury, become complacent and lose the original 'asabiyyah. Factionalism, individualism, and a focus on opulent lifestyles replace the earlier unity and discipline. The state's capacity to command loyalty and defend itself wanes, becoming vulnerable to internal dissent and external threats.
- The Replacement: Eventually, the weakened state is overthrown by a new group from the peripheries that possesses a strong, vibrant 'asabiyyah, thus beginning the cycle anew.
Modern Relevance and Application
The concept of 'asabiyyah remains relevant in modern social science and cliodynamics (the study of long-term historical processes using mathematical models).
- Social Cohesion: In modern contexts, 'asabiyyah is often considered analogous to social solidarity, national consciousness, or collective action.
- Modeling History: Researchers have developed mathematical models that use the principles of 'asabiyyah to analyze historical patterns, such as the territorial dynamics and population changes of Chinese dynasties over 1800 years, showing how periods of high 'asabiyyah correlate with unity and stability, and low 'asabiyyah with fragmentation.
- Policy Implications: The theory implies that for societies to thrive, they must foster a sense of shared purpose and avoid the pitfalls of excessive individualism and luxury that erode collective solidarity.
