Theorizing Revolutions

Book Overview

In Theorizing Revolutions, some of the most exciting thinkers in the study of revolutions today look critically at the many theoretical frameworks through which revolutions can be understood and apply them to specific revolutionary cases.
The theoretical approaches considered in this way include state-centred perspectives, structural theory, world-system analysis, elite models, demographic theories and feminism and the revolutions covered range in time from the French Revolution to Eastern Europe in 1989 and in place from Russia to Vietnam and Nicaragua.

Amazing

This is the only book on revolutions you will ever need. John Foran's work is especially interesting with his boolean analysis of the causes of third world revolutions. Overall, thorough and excellent
