There are more issues that just modern vs. non-modern, or even how the non-modern evolve in response to the pressures of modernism.

There are also issues of high-trust vs. low-trust societies (Arab societies tend to be very low-trust, meaning that you can only really trust your own family members, and not always those either), and whether politics is conceived of as a game of winner-take-all or assembling compromises.

I put it to you that if you had examined the society of 9th cen. Anglia, you would have found a quite primitive society, but one which already had trust levels running beyond the family (that's part of the genius of feudalism) and one which had digested the notion of law courts and compromise solutions.
