Theda Skocpol

States and Social Revolutions

A Comparative Analysis of France, Russia, and China

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Theda Skocpol shows how state structures, international forces, and class relations combine to explain the origins and accomplishments of social-revolutionary transformations. Believing that existing theories of revolution, both Marxist and non-Marxist, are inadequate to explain the actual historical patterns of revolutions, Skocpol urges the reader to adopt fresh perspectives.
