Abstract

 This study tries to examine human group in general and in developing countries in particular. This is not only to trace its progress but also to find an answer to the question that became very crucial nowadays which is: On which base could a group of individuals be gathered or connected? What would the best form of human union? This question became significant considering the clashes troubles and wars the whole world have witnessed and still witness.In order to answer the question we have to pass on and define a number of conceptions that were very problematic in the history of modern Arab thinking and in the contemporary one as well. Such as: Nation, State, nation-state, connectedness, civil society and other conceptions that were ultimately unobvious and misused. this study tries to develop a new concept which is related to the historical progress theory. It criticizes the claim of the end of the history but it shows the other side of historical progress that goes on the opposite direction of the natural progress. This new movement of the history is a movement towards the past instead of moving towards future. This is the dangerous dimension of this orientation because it expresses the great Reaction in the social and political life. This problems is what this study tries to focus on.
