"The concept of "?asabiyyah" (Arabic: "tribalism, clanism, communitarism", or in a modern context, "group feeling", "social cohesion", "solidarity" or even "nationalism") is one of the best known aspects of the Muqaddimah. As this ?asabiyyah declines, another more compelling 'asabiyyah may take its place; thus, civilizations rise and fall. History describes these cycles of ?asabiyyah as they play out. Ibn Khaldun argues that each dynasty has within itself the seeds of its own downfall. He explains that ruling houses tend to emerge on the peripheries of great empires and use the unity presented by those areas to their advantage in order to bring about a change in leadership" (Wiki).
