This study elucidates the roots and patterns of conflict and the conditions that facilitate peace and tolerance among Muslims, Hindus, and Christians on Lombok in eastern Indonesia. Known as the island of “a thousand mosques,” Lombok provides examples of how the state, community leaders, and other authorities – both religious and secular – manage a pluralistic society, resolve conflict, and maintain a sense of community. The study reveals that the interreligious conflicts are the result of the island’s history of ethnic and religious segregation. The state policy on religion, which regulates the establishment of places of worship, has further deepened the segregation that sharpened the conflicts. Despite consolidation and mediation by the state, some conflicts remain unresolved because the peacemaking processes are not inclusive of all actors. While Muslims and Hindus perform co-rituals and share commonalities in history and genealogy, which helps to sustain their peaceful relationship, Christians and other minorities seek alternative mechanisms to negotiate their place in the community and adapt to the existing modes of interreligious exchange. For example, many Christians join civic associations or engage in social work, while others participate in public religious-cultural festivals.

This chapter discusses statistics as social science. The systematic study of social numbers in the spirit of natural philosophy was pioneered during the 1660s, and was known for about a century and a half as political arithmetic. Its purpose, when not confined to the calculation of insurance or annuity rates, was the promotion of sound, well-informed state policy. Political arithmetic was, according to William Petty, the application of Baconian principles to the art of government. Implicit in the use by political arithmeticians of social numbers was the belief that the wealth and strength of the state depended strongly on the number and character of its subjects. Political arithmetic was supplanted by statistics in France and Great Britain around the beginning of the nineteenth century. The shift in terminology was accompanied by a subtle mutation of concepts that can be seen as one of the most important in the history of statistical thinking.

The main focus is on the Soviet encyclopedic editions "Ukrainian Soviet Encyclopedia" and "Soviet Encyclopedia of the History of Ukraine" in which the authors covered the history of ZUNR under the crushing Soviet propaganda way. These articles describe the position of the Soviet authorities regarding the history of the ZUNR and the independence of Ukraine. Historical aspects of statehood are revealed, but as destructive and crushing for the Soviet apparatus. The unilateral nature of these articles was characterized as they covered ZUNR policy from a subjective point of view. The tendency of repetition of encyclopedic texts on ZUNR that passed from one Soviet edition to another is revealed. Changes in the emphasis on the study of the history of ZUNR with the restoration of Ukraine's independence have been observed. Significant attention is focused on modern encyclopedic projects, which cover the history of ZUNR and have become a kind of quintessence and business card of all previous scientific work on the subject of ZUNR. Examples in changing the emphasis in ZUNR research by modern researchers are given. The basic conceptual bases of national historiography concerning the history of ZUNR are formulated. In the article, the author emphasizes the position of changing the assessment of the state policy of ZUNR officials to the state policy. Domestic researchers in new encyclopedic editions re-submit ZUNR history and most of the stigmatized spots have been cleaned up and fairly introduced into national encyclopedic editions. The article emphasizes the need to develop new archival data that will become available in the archives of the Catholic University of Rome. Declassification of these materials will make it possible to review articles in encyclopedic editions of already independent Ukraine.

Introduction. The chronological framework of the study includes the period of development of the People’sRepublic of China from 1949 to the present, when state policy was formed in relation to large, medium and small cities, which had a significant impact on the socio-economic transformations of China. Goals and objectives of the study. It is necessary to consider the features of the implementation of the state policy of the PRC in the 1949–2000s. in relation to the development of urban areas, the regulation of the urbanization process. Materials and methods. The article was written on the basis of sources on the economic history of the PRC: materials of five-year plans, documents of the State Council and the Central Committee of theCommunist Party of China. The study used such special historical methods as problem-chronological and retrospective. Results. In the history of China’s state policy in relation to urban development, two main stages can be distinguished: 1. The initial period of urban construction management (1949–1976), when the main industrial urban centers of the PRC were formed. 2. The period of urban construction management in China after the start of the policy of “reform and opening” (from 1978 to the present), when cities began to act as the main “development poles” of the surrounding territories. Throughout its 70-year history, the Chinese city has become a center of national economic development and a “growth pole” for the regional economy. A modern production base, modernized educational, scientific and technological centers were formed in the cities. The state policy in the field of development of urban areas was regulated not only by five-year plans, as throughout the history of the PRC, but also by such important documents as the “National program of urbanization of a new type for 2014–2020” from 2015, Plan for the construction of 19 urban agglomerations in the Central, Western and North-Eastern regions from 2016. Conclusions. The formed state policy of China in relation to urban areas at the present stage is dictated by the tasks of co-development of urban and rural areas, the principles of building an ecological civilization, the norms of sustainable regional development, the requirements of modernizing economic changes in the interests of “socialism with Chinese characteristics”, as well as the goals of implementing the updated strategy of coordinated regional development.
