Revolution and state breakdown are the focus of this important new book that

revolutions so rare?”
Revolutions also looks at the state breakdowns in Eastern Europe after 1989, the

appendix presents biographical and autobiographical sketches of several of the
most prominent students of revolutions.
Contents: Understanding Revolutions. The Great Historical Revolutions. Revolutions in
the Third World. The Causes of Revolutions: I. The Causes of Revolutions: II. The State
