BETWEEN WAR AND DIPLOMACY (1913–1923): GREEK MILITARY PEDAGOGY AND THE EVOLUTION OF THE GREEK ARMY FROM THE TREATY OF NEUILLY TO THE TREATY OF LAUSANNE
Get PDFThis manuscript examines Greece’s transformative journey from the Treaty of Bucharest (1913) to the Treaty of Lausanne (1923), highlighting the interplay of military pedagogy, the evolution of the Greek army, and the role of diplomacy. Following its significant territorial gains in the Balkan Wars, Greece sought to consolidate its position through diplomacy and later navigated the challenges of World War I, including the National Schism between Eleftherios Venizelos and King Constantine I. The Treaty of Neuilly (1919) and the Treaty of Sèvres (1920) marked the apex of Greece’s territorial ambitions, driven by Venizelos’s diplomatic acumen. However, the Asia Minor Campaign (1919–1922) exposed the limits of military overreach and internal division, culminating in the Treaty of Lausanne (1923), which redefined Greek sovereignty and population demographics. This study explores how military modernization, strategic leadership, and diplomatic resilience shaped Greece’s national trajectory, offering broader insights into state-building and regional influence in a volatile era
CYCLICAL AND LINEAR PROGRESS IN HISTORY: A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF IBN KHALDUN, HEGEL, AND TOYNBEE
Get PDFThis article explores the central historiographical debate between cyclical and linear perspectives of historical progress, focusing on the contributions of Ibn Khaldun, Hegel, and Toynbee. Ibn Khaldun\u27s cyclical theory emphasises the rise and fall of civilisations driven by social cohesion (Asabiyyah), economic factors, and moral dynamics. Hegel, in contrast, presents a linear, teleological progression of history guided by the realisation of freedom and rationality through dialectical processes. Toynbee offers a hybrid model, blending cyclical challenges with potential linear advancements, emphasising creative responses to crises. The comparative framework examines their views on the nature of progress, the driving forces of change, and the patterns of rise and decline in civilisations. Ibn Khaldun’s focus on internal cohesion and leadership is juxtaposed with Hegel’s deterministic progression and Toynbee’s adaptive flexibility. Integrating insights from modern thinkers, this study highlights how these perspectives inform contemporary issues like nationalism, globalisation, and governance. By analysing these paradigms, the article demonstrates the enduring relevance of cyclical and linear approaches in understanding historical evolution and societal transformation

For some reasons local government in Nigeria cannot perform its statutory functions effectively due to many problems encountered which include unconstitutional marriage between State and Local government. The study employed survey research with quantitative technique of research where both primary and secondary sources are used. The study used simple regression analysis to analyse its result.The study found out that Ijebu-Ode local government area has not performed effectively and efficiently in the delivery of infrastructure in the area. The work is limited to Ijebu-Ode local government area where infrastructural facilities are only considered. The study argues that corruption in the local government, Nigeria and irresponsible marriage between State and the local government are the foremost reasons for the poor performance of local government in Nigeria
THE EFFECT OF AUDIT QUALITY, AUDIT COMMITTEE, AND ISLAMIC CORPORATE GOVERNANCE ON ISLAMIC CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY DISCLOSURE IN ISLAMIC BANKING ON PERIOD 2018-2022
Get PDFThe purpose of this study to investigate the impact of Islamic Corporate Social Responsibility disclosure by taking into consideration the proportion of audit quality, the number of audit committees, and the level of Islamic Corporate Governance implementation. The population in this study is Sharia Banking registered with the Financial Services Authority in 2018-2022. Using the purposive sampling approach, the sample included all of the items necessary in each variable. Then, analysis approaches and hypothesis testing are then performed using panel data regression analysis using Stata 17. There are 4 testing stages, namely descriptive statistical tests, preliminary tests, diagnostic tests, and hypothesis tests. First, the descriptive statistical test, then the preliminary test is divided into 3, namely the Chow test, the Breusch and Pagan Lagrangian test, and the Hausman test which is used to identify the model. From the preliminary test, this study uses the Random Effect model to determine the relationship between variables. Next, in the third stage of testing, diagnostic tests are carried out through heteroscedasticity and autocorrelation tests and finally hypothesis testing. The research results found that the independent variables audit quality, audit committee, and ICG simultaneously influence Islamic Corporate Social Responsibility Disclosure. Apart from that, the findings of the hypothesis test show that audit quality has a positive effect on Islamic Corporate Social Responsibility Disclosure, while the audit committee and ICG variables have no effect on Islamic Corporate Social Responsibility Disclosure. This study provides insight into indicators that need to be applied to sharia banking and in accordance with Islamic principles in company management. Managers implement accountability mechanisms to ensure good monitoring, audit quality and reporting in order to help achieve organizational goals. However, self-identification with the organization cannot prove commitment to sharia principles. But, this research has not been able to prove the influence of the audit committee and Islamic Corporate Governance variables on Islamic Corporate Social Responsibility
