POLS 079B. Comparative Politics: Special Topic Revolutions
Inspired by the recent events of the Arab Spring, this course is a theoretical and historical examination of revolutions. We will study the different definition, causes, and effects of revolutions, as well as the distinction between revolutions and other forms of social movements. Students will be challenged to explain how we know when a revolution is complete-what happens after the storming of the palace?-as well as the reasons why certain revolutions fail while others succeed. Although the course considers a broad scope of political uprisings, ranging from the “colored revolutions” of the post-Communist to the Occupy Wall Street movement, special attention will be paid to the French, Russian, Mexican, Chinese, Cuban, and Iranian revolutions.
