Secret and power constitute two fundamental instances of the social world. Secret takes care of the concealment of things and of social processes. Secret is also a power device. Power is the social capacity to do, create, not doing and stop from doing. Secret and power get mutual feedback. Power uses the secret to protect his potential, be it what may, to increment its operative strength. Secret uses the power to achieve its aims and proposals. Social sciences seem to ignore the huge explanatory capacity of these two interrelated concepts, and even more, their powerful intervention in societies.

Various theories of ethnic nationalism are distinguished, including biosocial, modernization, Marxist/Leninist, internal colonial, ethnic pluralism, microsocial (eg, rational-choice), systems theories, & multivariate models. Ethnic nationalism is complex & does not lend itself to simplistic explanation. Rational calculation may be abandoned when highly valued goals or sacred symbols are threatened. Theories must take into account levels of technological & economic development, relative power relations, the role of elites, boundary maintenance, the effects of internal & external war, & strategies of containment by dominant strata. There has been a resurgence in ethnic nationalism because of the declining power of existing states relative to the superpowers, military alliances, the global economy, multinational companies, & supranational agencies, eg, judicial bodies & human rights tribunals. 3 Illustrations, 45 References.

The initial purpose of this article is to assess the enduring power of Richard E. Neustadt's 1960 book, Presidential Power. The book transformed the ways in which subsequent generations of presidential scholars thought and wrote about the presidency. It has continued to be the touchstone for scholarship. However, scholars have also qualified, modified, challenged, reformulated, and rejected Neustadt's theses. One result has been a richer literature on the presidency, which itself requires assessment.

Greek historical writing began at much the same time as Greek philosophic-scientific speculation. It experienced an even more rapid growth than philosophy, which it resembled in culminating its development in two men of genius. Contemporary events, the principal subject matter of early history, became the subject of inquiry, when some among the literate could not look at or understand events in the epic or mythic terms that had served the past and had to serve as a past.

HERODOTUS WAS GREEK HISTORIAN WHOSE SUBJECT WAS THE RECENT PAST. PRIMARILY, HIS ACCOUNTS DEALT WITH THE REPULSION OF THE PERSIAN EMPEROR BY HIS INTENDED VICTIMS. THUCYDIDES SOUGHT TO PRESENT MORE THAN AN ACCOUNT OF THE WAR AND SAW THE EVENTS AND SPEECHES IN TERMS OF WAR IN GENERAL AND OF RECURRING HUMAN BEHAVIOR.
