Summary:

'On Revolutions' integrates insights from diverse fields-civil resistance studies, international relations, social movements, terrorism-to offes new ways of thinking about the study of revolution. Conventional lines of thought draw on a number of categorical distinctions: social versus political revolutions, structure versus agency, violent versus nonviolent strategies, domestic versus international factors, and success versus failure. In contrast, the book outlines an approach that reaches beyond these dichotomies.
