Designed to be accessible to undergraduate students, the book systematically explores such questions as: What should be defined as a revolution?; Is there a \"typical\" pattern to the course of a revolution?; What are the roles of ideologies, structures (e.g., the state, class structures in the international system), and individuals in shaping revolutions?; What causes groups to mobilize behind revolutionary leaders?; What happens after a revolutionary group assumes power, or fails?. The discussion highlights points of agreement and debate within the social science literature, and brief case studies of revolutions and revolutionary movements bring concepts to life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCONTENTS: \u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnderstanding Revolution.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe \"Life Course\" of a Revolution.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe Structural Causes of Revolution.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe Role of Ideology, Part 1: Liberalism and Nationalism.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe Role of Ideology, Part 2: Marxism and Religious Thought.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe Sources of Revolutionary Leadership.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eMobilizing the Masses.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe Outcomes of Revolution.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe Study of Revolution.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAppendix: Case Studies, 1776-2008.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Lynne Rienner Publishers, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47055301640432,"sku":"9781588267757","price":27.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781588267757_p0.jpg?v=1763807756","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781588267757","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
