POL260: Revolutions |
This unit will examine classical and modern theories of revolution; why some revolutions have succeeded and others have only partially succeeded or failed; and the consequences of these different outcomes. The case studies will include revolutions via mass mobilizations and/or armed struggle (eg, Cuba, Nicaragua, Vietnam, Iran) and revolutions via mass mobilizations and the 'ballot box' (eg, Chile, Philippines). In discussing the case studies, we will focus on social and economic factors, sources of recruitment, role of social classes, leadership patterns, political appeals and strategies, and the influence of external factors.
