Revolutions - POL277
This unit examines 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 include revolutions via mass mobilisations and/or armed struggle (such as Cuba, Nicaragua, Vietnam and Iran) and revolutions via mass mobilisations and the ballot box (such as Chile and the Philippines). In discussing the case studies, we 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.
