A Cutting-Edge Appraisal of Revolution and Its Future



On Revolutions, a groundbreaking work co-authored by six esteemed scholars of revolutions, revitalizes the field of revolutionary studies for the twenty-first century. By integrating insights from diverse domains such as civil resistance studies, international relations, social movements, and terrorism, the authors present novel approaches to understanding enduring challenges in the study of revolution. This book challenges conventional categorical distinctions by emphasizing that revolutions encompass a multitude of change types. It argues that structure and agency are interconnected rather than mutually exclusive processes, and contention can manifest through both violent and nonviolent means. Revolutions do not solely result in success or failure but rather achieve and simultaneously fall short of their goals. Furthermore, causal conditions are not limited to domestic or international factors but are intricately linked to the interplay of each.



Through a comprehensive examination of a diverse range of cases, the authors demonstrate the merits of this approach, offering conceptual insights, methodological guidance, and engaging with ethical considerations at the intersection of scholarship and activism. This book serves as a valuable resource for scholars, researchers, and activists seeking to understand the complexities of revolution and its potential for positive change in the world.
