Revolutions, uprisings, rebellions

Series: Anthem Intercultural Transfer Studies

Provides a comparative ten-step model for revolutions and shows that these must be considered a global phenomenon of modernity.

This book will analyse several revolutions of the 'long' nineteenth and 'short' twentieth century to show how revolutionary processes evolved. It will therefore use a comparative ten-step model to emphasise similarities with regard to the revolutionary developments in different parts of the world. The book consequently aims at providing a general, but deeper, understanding of revolutions as a global phenomenon of modernity while explaining how revolutionary processes evolve and develop, and how they could and can be corrupted. The revolutionary case studies discussed will include, among others, France, Russia, Mexico, and China.

Reviews for Revolution and the Global Struggle for Modernity: Volume 1 - The Atlantic Revolutions

"""This publication offers a new and global perspective on the relationship between revolution and modernity. Rich in sources and based on a comparative case study between the revolutions in America, France, and Haiti, the book unfolds new findings and approaches for revolutionary studies. This interdisciplinary study will be of interest to historians, political scientists, and sociologists alike."" - Prof. Dr. Jana Gunther, Evangelische Hochschule Darmstadt, Germany. ""This manuscript by Professor Frank Jacob, Nord University, Bodo (Norway), examines the three most powerful bourgeois revolutions of the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries from a comparative perspective: the American, French, and Haitian Revolutions. The author asks to what extent a ten-step revolutionary model developed by him can be applied to these revolutions and to what extent such a model can be generalized."" -Prof. Dr. Mario Kessler, Senior Fellow, Leibniz Center for Contemporary History (ZZF), Germany."
