Ibn Khaldun's analysis looks at how this cohesion carries groups to power but contains within itself the seeds – psychological, sociological, economic, political – of the group's downfall, to be replaced by a new group, dynasty or empire bound by a stronger (or at least younger and more vigorous) cohesion.
Ibn Haldunova analiza promatra kako ta kohezija vodi grupe do moći, ali u sebi sadrži klicu - psihološku, sociološku, ekonomsku, političku - propasti ili sloma grupe, što uzrokuje zamijenjivanje grupe nekom novom grupom, dinastijom ili carstvom koji će biti povezani jačom (ili barem mlađom i silovitijom) kohezijom.
