Revolutions : a very short introduction by Jack A. Goldstone - New York : Oxford University Press, ©2014 - xviii, 148 p. : ill. ; 18 cm. - Very short introductions ; 381 .
Includes bibliographical references (pages 143-146) and index.
Chapter 1: Revolutions and insurgencies - a brief history Chapter 2: Types of revolutions and their causes Chapter 3: Radical social revolutions: France, Russia, China Chapter 4: Revolutions for independence: The Americas, India, Algeria Chapter 5: Revolutions against dictators: Mexico, Cuba, Iran Chapter 6: Color revolutions: Czechoslovakia, Ukraine, Georgia Chapter 7: Who makes revolutions? Chapter 8: Insurgency and counter-insurgency: Iraq and Afghanistan Chapter 9: Revolutionary outcomes: Dictatorship or democracy? Chapter 10: The future of revolution: The end of history?
"In the 20th and 21st century revolutions have become more urban, often less violent, but also more frequent and more transformative of the international order. Whether it is the revolutions against Communism in Eastern Europe and the USSR; the "color revolutions" across Asia, Europe and North Africa; or the religious revolutions in Iran, Afghanistan, and Syria; today's revolutions are quite different from those of the past. Modern theories of revolution have therefore replaced the older class-based theories with more varied, dynamic, and contingent models of social and political change. This new edition updates the history of revolutions, from Classical Greece and Rome to the Revolution of Dignity in the Ukraine, with attention to the changing types and outcomes of revolutionary struggles. It also presents the latest advances in the theory of revolutions, including the issues of revolutionary waves, revolutionary leadership, international influences, and the likelihood of revolutions to come. This volume provides a brief but comprehensive introduction to the nature of revolutions and their role in global history"--
