Social Revolutions in the Modern World

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This series publishes comparative research that seeks to explain important, crossnational domestic political phenomena. Based on a broad conception of comparative politics, it hopes to promote critical dialogue among different approaches. While encouraging contributions from diverse theoretical perspectives, the series will particularly emphasize work on domestic institutions and work that examines the relative roles of historical structures and constraints, of individual or organizational choice, and of strategic interaction in explaining political actions and outcomes.
