ABSTRAK            Perbincangan politik dan demokrasi seakan tidak pernah selesai. Semenjak founding fathers menorehkan sejarah kemerdekaan bangsa hingga kini, di era Reformasi, politik hukum dan demokratisasi masih tetap menjadi bahan perbincangan. Bahkan, kini, perbincangannya sudah sampai ke masyarakat luas yang dulunya tidak mau tahu dengan persoalan ini. Ini menunjukkan pencerdasan kehidupan politik masyarakat sudah semakin menguat. Karena itulah, kritik terhadap  sistem Politik yang otoritarian di Indonesia sepanjang sejarah perjalanan bangsa menemukan momentumnya. Politik adalah sebuah kegiatan yang menyangkut proses pemahaman tentang negara dan masalah kenegaraan serta mempelajari negara beserta tugas-tugasnya. Saat ini politik merupakan sebuah fenomena yang sedang hangat diperbincangkan oleh seluruh lapisan masyarakat. Hampir semua acara ditelevisi sampai acara berbasis komedi pun membahas tentang politik itu sendiri.            Dinamika politik pada era modern ini merupakan sebuah persoalan yang kompleks. Banyak perubahan-perubahan yang terjadi yang menyebabkan seseorang memiliki sudut pandang tersendiri atau pemahaman tersendiri yang kuat, sehingga tidak bisa diubah oleh siapapun. Perbedaan ras, agama, serta perbedaan pandang akan politik pun sering tidak bisa berjalan dengan seiringan.            Paham yang dianut negara Indonesia adalah sebuah paham demokrasi. Paham demokrasi berlaku pada semua bidang yaitu bidang sosial budaya, bidang agama, bidang ekonomi termasuk bidang politik. Politik demokrasi adalah sebuah politik dimana didalamnya memberikan perlakuan yang sama serta sangat menghargai sebuah perbedaan baik pada kaum mayoritas maupun kaum minoritas.Kata kunci : Hukum, Politik, Perkembangan, Indonesia.

Francis Bacon is famous today as one of the founding fathers of the so-called ‘scientific revolution’ of the seventeenth century. Although not an especially successful scientist himself, he was nevertheless the most eloquent and influential spokesperson for an approach to knowledge that promised to transform human understanding of both humanity and its relationship with the natural and social worlds. The central features of this approach, as they emerged in Bacon’s own writings and the work of his protégés and associates after 1605, are equally well known. They include the importance of experiment, observation, and a sceptical attitude towards inherited wisdom (from the ‘ancients’ in general and Aristotle in particular).

For development economists these arc the days of great expectations. Development economics as a discipline, born only three decades ago, has come to stay, notwithstanding the threats to its existence issued openly by such friends as Schultz [63], Bauer [2], Little [44], and Lal [39]. New theoretical constructs have been devised and novel empirical studies done to comprehend better the forces of change in developing countries. While of late there may not have been great festivity in the realm of ideas, the force of circumstances has widened the problem canvas of development economics and has opened up new vistas for economists to explore- much beyond the expectations of its founding fathers. Also notwithstanding the great diversity in the experience of individual countries, development economists may legitimately draw some comfort from the thought that their ideas have changed the developing world for the better.

This article addresses the problem of defining the terms ‘secularism’ and ‘religion’ and the difficulty of accepting the strict separation of religion from politics that some say is needed for a truly secular society. It offers a ‘relationship model’ for religion that sees it as the practice of balancing the responsibilities arising from the relationships between oneself, God, fellow human and living beings and the environment. Examining the attitudes of the Founding Fathers of European secularism, it argues that secular society can only exist if we face the shadows of our colonial past and the literalist theological narrative which is quickly being digested within some Muslim communities. This narrative and how it is affecting Muslim communities in Europe, as well as the shadows of the colonial past, pose a danger to secular society and affects all communities across Europe and these are conversations that need to be held.

Since its inception in 2004, the Swiss Industrial Biocatalysis Consortium (SIBC) has brought together scientists from the Pharma, Fine Chemicals, Agrochemicals and Flavor and Fragrance Industries with the goal of promoting biocatalysis inside and outside of Switzerland as well as providing mutual benefits in the form of pre-competitive knowledge sharing. One of the 'founding fathers' of the SIBC was of course Oreste Ghisalba, whom we are honoring here in this special edition. The history of the SIBC as well as current activities and future challenges will be presented.

Résumé.L'étude des discours des «pères fondateurs» du Canada moderne révèle qu'ils étaient ouvertement antidémocrates. Comment expliquer qu'un régime fondé dans un esprit antidémocratique en soit venu à être identifié positivement à la démocratie? S'inspirant d'études similaires sur les États-Unis et la France, l'analyse de l'histoire du mot «démocratie» révèle que le Canada a été associé à la «démocratie» en raison de stratégies discursives des membres de l'élite politique qui cherchaient à accroître leur capacité de mobiliser les masses à l'occasion des guerres mondiales, et non pas à la suite de modifications constitutionnelles ou institutionnelles qui auraient justifié un changement d'appellation du régime.Abstract.An examination of the speeches of modern Canada's “founding fathers” lays bare their openly anti-democratic outlook. How did a regime founded on anti-democratic ideas come to be positively identified with democracy? Drawing on the examples of similar studies carried out in the United States and France, this analysis of the history of the term “democracy” in Canada shows that the country's association with “democracy” was not due to constitutional or institutional changes that might have justified re-labelling the regime. Instead, it was the result of the political elite's discursive strategies, whose purpose was to strengthen the elite's ability to mobilize the masses during the world wars.
