From France in the 1790s to Vietnam in the 1970s, social revolutions have been rare but undeniably of enormous importance in modern world history. States and Social Revolutions provides a new frame of reference for analyzing the causes, the conflicts, and the outcomes of such revolutions. And it develops in depth a rigorous, comparative historical analysis of three major cases: the French Revolution of 1787 through the early 1800s, the Russian Revolution of 1917 through the 1930s, and the Chinese Revolution of 1911 through the 1960s. Believing that existing theories of revolution, both Marxist and non-Marxist, are inadequate to explain the actual historical patterns of revolutions, the author urges us to adopt fresh perspectives. Above all, she maintains that states conceived as administrative and coercive organizations potentially autonomous from class controls and interests must be made central to explanations of revolutions. 517 3 $aStates & Social Revolutions 606 $aRevolutions$vCase studies 606 $aRevolutions$zFrance$xHistory 606 $aRevolutions$zSoviet Union$xHistory 606 $aRevolutions$zChina$xHistory 615 0$aRevolutions 615 0$aRevolutions$xHistory. 615 0$aRevolutions$xHistory. 615 0$aRevolutions$xHistory. 676 $a301.6/333 700 $aSkocpol$b Theda$0128123 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996248113803316 996 $aStates and social revolutions$9540003 997 $aUNISA 999 $aThis Record contains information from the Harvard Library Bibliographic Dataset, which is provided by the Harvard Library under its Bibliographic Dataset Use Terms and includes data made available by, among others the Library of Congress
