Kajian ini membahas tentang potensi pesantren dalam deradikalisasi masyarakat Indonesia melaluisistem pendidikan yang seimbang antara agama dan negara. Meski Pondok Pesantren merupakantempat menuntut ilmu agama Islam, bukan berarti tidak lepas dari paham-paham ekstrim yangterkadang mengatasnamakan agama. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pengaruh dansistem pendidikan di beberapa pesantren untuk mencegah radikalisme bagi siswa di tingkat SMA diIndonesia. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah studi lapangan dengan pendekatankualitatif menggunakan purposive sampling di pesantren yang memiliki kurikulum salafiah danmodern. Pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui observasi. Analisis dilakukan dengan mengumpulkan,menyajikan, mereduksi, dan menarik kesimpulan. Hasil penelitian ini membuktikan bahwa sistempendidikan dan peran kiai berdampak positif dalam menangkal radikalisme agama dengan memadukanpendidikan Islam dan negara. Penelitian ini mengimplikasikan bahwa sistem manajemen di pondokpesantren dapat menjalin kemitraan yang intensif dengan pemerintah dalam berbagai aspek politik,budaya, dan ekonomi. Harus dikesampingkan bahwa pesantren termasuk dalam pendidikan yangterkadang dipinggirkan oleh pemerintah karena terkadang dianggap inklusif. Oleh karena itu, segalaupaya untuk mengatasi masalah paham radikal atas nama agama tidak mungkin mencapai hasil yangsignifikan, kecuali ada sistem pendidikan yang kohesif antara lembaga dan pemerintah.

Executive education is changing. As we move into the 21st century, numerous forces are causing a transformation in not only its delivery but also its purpose. According to executives from 25 global firms, executive education will be more directly geared to making leadership and change management work. We describe shifts in six areas: learning needs, learning content, pedagogy, instructors, participant mixes, and organizational integrating mechanisms. Problem areas also are explored, particularly in the areas of program assessment and sponsorship. The concluding section describes what the authors feel must be the ultimate outcomes of these trends in terms of the transformation of executive education in the 21st century as a critical lever for facilitating strategic transitions.

The recent movement among state supreme courts to affirm rights not protected by the United States Supreme Court has occasioned much favorable commentary. In one area of this new judicial federalism—economic rights protection—the response has been less enthusiastic. State courts used various clauses of their respective constitutions to protect these rights even before the Civil War and have continued to do so despite the U.S. Supreme court's abdication of any serious role in the realm of economic rights. This persistence by state courts is justified by a historically valid substantive content of the due process clause, the numerous clauses in state constitutions concerned with the protection of property, and the role of the state courts in the American constitutional system. The arguments frequently invoked by critics of judicial activism on the part of the federal judiciary do not apply with the same force to the state judiciary. State courts can contribute to American constitutional liberties by actively protecting an area of rights that would otherwise find no forum for vindication.

In 1949, V. O. Key, Jr. published Southern Politics in State and Nation. In this masterpiece, Key argues that the failure of democracy in the South is linked to the absence of competition among parties & the resulting failure of an organized & sound party system to emerge. Fifty years later, it is evident that Key's arguments are sound. However, Key failed to predict one important point: that electoral competition alone would be insufficient to ensure the development & continuation of a successful & productive democracy. Perhaps the reason behind Key's deficiency is that he did not consider the fact that prejudice & racism would continue to perpetuate illiberal social attitudes well beyond the 1940s. The continuation of an illiberal southern society, which worked to withhold the rights of citizenship from the low-income white & black majority, should be heavily credited for defeating partisan competition in the South. As a result, the development of democratic practices was retarded during the entirety of New Deal Democracy. 4 Tables, 20 References. K. A. Larsen
