The Revolution of 1861: The American Civil War in the Age of Nationalist Conflict.. University of North Carolina Press, $39.95 ISBN 978-0-8078-3523-4 Understanding the Civil War in a Broader Context Andre Fleche adds to the burgeoning literature on the international dimensions of the Civil War in this valuable study of American nationalism in a transatlantic context. Contrary to dominant popular narratives of the Civil War as a purely domestic conflict, Europe’s 1848 revolutions had a profound influence on northern and southern conceptions of the nation state. Viewed in this framework, the Civil War fits into a broader pattern of revolution wherein the fledgling concept of the nation state matured into the form that guided it through the next century of modern history. Although 1860s Americans paid attention to other revolutionary precedents, especially their own against Great Britain, Fleche argues that the most influential were the failed nationalist revolutions of 1848 in Europe, a series of revolts against the monarchies that took control of the continent after Napoleon’s defeat in 1815.

Its history dates back almost 5000 years. It is situated at a strategic juncture in the Middle East region of South West Asia. Evidence of man’s presence as far back as the Lower Palaeolithic period on the Iranian plateau has been found in the Kerman Shah Valley. And time and again in the course of this long history, Iran has found itself invaded and occupied by foreign powers. Some reference to Iranian history is therefore indispensable for a proper understanding of its subsequent development. The first major civilisation in what is now Iran was that of the Elamites, who might have settled in South Western Iran as early as 3000 B.C. In 1500 B.C. Aryan tribes began migrating to Iran from the Volga River north of the Caspian Sea and from Central Asia. Eventually two major tribes of Aryans, the Persian and Medes, settled in Iran. One group settled in the North West and founded the kingdom of Media. The other group lived in South Iran in an area that the Greeks later called Persis—from which the name Persia is derived.

    Revolutions Against the State* Colin J. Beck Pomona College Forthcoming. The New Handbook of Political Sociology, edited by Thomas Janoski, Cedric de Leon, Joya Misra, and Isaac Martin. New York: Cambridge University Press. Address correspondence to: Colin J. Beck Department of Sociology Pomona College 420 N Harvard Ave Claremont, CA 91711 [email protected] * Acknowledgments: This chapter was informed by conversations with the participants of the Rethinking Revolutions Workshop at the London School of Economics and Political Science in May 2017. In particular, I thank Mlada Bukovansky, Erica Chenoweth, George Lawson, Sharon Nepstad, and Daniel Ritter. I also thank John Foran for his comments on a prior version. Beck Revolutions Against the State Introduction The way social scientists think that others think about revolutions has been shaped primarily by Jack Goldstone. In his influential review essays, Goldstone (1982, 2001) presents the 20th century study of revolution as occurring in generations—from natural historians of the 1930s to general theorists of the mid-20th century, from state-centered scholars in the 1980s to a contemporary fourth generation basket of approaches. Because it is so familiar, his reading animates nearly all contemporary literature reviews in revolution studies. Goldstone’s categorizations have even impelled new work, as in Sohrabi’s (1995) research on models of revolution or Lawson’s (2016) recent theoretical synthesis. There is a problem with this way of thinking about the field of revolution studies, however. Social science of any sort, let alone in the study of revolution, does not cohere in neat generations. I offer a few examples. During the so-called natural history phase, other scholars like Merriman (1938) argued for general structural theories of revolution that look much more like the state-centered accounts of four decades later.

  • VLADIMIR PUTIN: an ASPIRANT METTERNICH? by Mitchell A
    JANUARY 2015 VLADIMIR PUTIN: AN ASPIRANT METTERNICH? By Mitchell A. Orenstein Mitchell A. Orenstein is Professor and Chair of the Department of Political Science at Northeastern University in Boston and an affiliate of both the Davis Center for Russian and Eurasian Studies and the Minda de Gunzberg Center for European Studies at Harvard University. As Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered his military into Ukraine in 2014, people were quick to compare him to Adolph Hitler, whose annexation of Austria and invasions of Czechoslovakia and Poland set off World War II. Hillary Clinton commented in March 2014 that if Putin’s justification for taking Crimea to protect ethnic Russians sounded familiar, it was because, “it’s what Hitler did back in the ’30s. Germans by ancestry were in places like Czechoslovakia and Romania and other places, [and] Hitler kept saying they’re not being treated right. I must go and protect my people.” Since that time Ukrainian Euromaidan supporters have published dramatic images of Putin as “Putler,” mashups that have trended wildly on social media and become a staple of public protests. Yet, Putin’s approach to world affairs is more similar to that of another Austrian, Prince Klemens von Metternich. Like Metternich, the dominant force in post-Napoleonic era diplomacy, Putin is a conservative imperialist who seeks to create a balance or “concert” between the great powers in Europe, while suppressing liberal democratic politics and the aspirations of small nations. By comparing Putin’s worldview with that of Metternich, one can gain more insight into Putin’s approach to world affairs than can be understood from much contemporary debate.

Introduction “The tricolor republic now bears only one color, the color of the defeated, the color of blood.” 1 Karl Marx after the June Days uprising (Neue Rheinische Zeitung, 29 June 1848) As I am writing this opening paragraph, it is 160 years ago to the day that the French National Guard ended a bloody uprising among the Parisian workers. Sometimes labeled a ‘class war’2, the so-called ‘June Days’ uprising posited the urban working class against the Provisional Government of the French Second Republic. It shall become clear in the following chapters that this clash between the revolutionary regime and the masses which had been vital in its victory four months prior, ultimately represented the failure of that revolution, a revolution which made an end to the French monarchy, instated universal male suffrage for a short time and set off a wave of revolutions across the continent.

    video transcript VIDEO TRANSCRIPT FOR “THE IRANIAN REVOLUTION” online at https://spice.fsi.stanford.edu/multimedia/iranian-revolution On-screen text: The Iranian Revolution a discussion with Dr. Abbas Milani On-screen text: Dr. Abbas Milani Director, Hamid & Christina Moghadam Program in Iranian Studies, Stanford University Abbas Milani: Greetings—or, as we say in Persian, salām. My name is Abbas Milani. I direct [the] Iranian Studies Program here at Stanford. I teach courses on politics in Iran, the history of Iran and its encounter with the West, U.S.–Iran relations, and the culture and literature of Iran as a reflection of its political reality. I’m going to try to compress all of that in the next 15 minutes. If you watch this and you have any questions about what I have said, please feel free to write to me at Stanford ([email protected]), and I’ll be absolutely delighted to answer your questions. On-screen text: Why is it important to learn about Iran? Abbas Milani: First, why should we worry about Iran and particularly the Iranian Revolution of 1979? I think we should learn about Iran, we should teach about Iran because Iran is one of the oldest civilizations in the world. It was one of the earliest empires. An Iranian religion called Zoroastrianism, led by Zarathustra, has had a profound influence on the development of Abrahamic religions. Many of the ideas we tend to think of as Abrahamic ideas actually come from Zoroastrianism, including the idea of paradise, the idea of hell, the idea of a virgin birth, the idea of a messiah.

  • Fourth Generation’ of Revolutionary Theory
    Within and Beyond the ‘Fourth Generation’ of Revolutionary Theory George Lawson (LSE)1 September 2015 1 George Lawson, Associate Professor, Department of International Relations, LSE, Houghton Street, London WC2A 2AE, United Kingdom. Within and Beyond the ‘Fourth Generation’ of Revolutionary Theory Recent years have seen renewed interest in the study of revolutions. Yet the burgeoning interest in revolutionary events has not been matched by a comparable interest in the development of revolutionary theory. For the most part, empirical studies of revolutions remain contained within the parameters established by the ‘fourth generation’ of revolutionary theory. This body of work sees revolutions as conjunctural amalgams of systemic crisis, structural opening, and collective action, which arise from the intersection of international, economic, political, and symbolic factors. Despite the promise of this approach, this article argues that fourth generation scholarship remains an unfulfilled agenda. The aim of this article is to work within – and beyond – fourth generation theory in order to establish the theoretical foundations that can underpin contemporary work on revolutions. It does so in three ways: first, by promoting a shift from an attributional to a processual ontology; second, by advocating a relational rather than substantialist account of social action; and third, by fostering an approach that sees revolutions as inter-societal ‘all the way down’. The (unfulfilled) promise of fourth generation theory2 Recent years have seen renewed interest in the study of revolution (e.g. Chenoweth and Stephan 2011; Goldstone 2011, 2014; Nepstad 2011; Beck 2011, 2014, 2015; Colgan, 2012, 2013; Weyland 2012; Beissinger 2014; Lawson 2015a and 2015b; Ritter 2015).

  • Democracy Comes to Mongolia
    ᭿ First published in Truth, history and politics or Mongolia: the memory of heroes, London: RoutledgeCurzon, 2004 49 DEMOCRACY COMES TO MONGOLIA Christoper Kaplonski y most accounts, it was the very solidarity that was a trademark of socialism that Bbrought about its end in the Mongolian People’s Republic (MPR) in the winter of 1989–90. Following the Soviet Union in policy, as it had for almost seventy years, the leadership of the MPR faithfully followed it into the confusion and upheaval of reform and democracy. Sending students to study abroad in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, the socialist regime had unwittingly sown the seeds of its own destruction on fertile ground. The students came back from Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union not only with university degrees, but, having been exposed to the fledgling opposition, they also brought back ideas of democracy and freedom. Ganbaatar, one of the founders of the MSDN (Mongol Sotsial Demokrat Nam – Mongolian Social Democratic Party) recalled the impact this had: From the beginning of the 1970s, the people who brought back true information about the world were always students. During this period, I was a student. [The real situation] was completely opposed to what we had learned about European culture. During the seven years I studied [in Eastern Europe], my view of the world changed . When people of that time learned about European culture, they weren’t satisfied with the Mongolian condition. They didn’t sympathize with the one-party ideology.1 This exposure to the situation in Eastern Europe was limited, but powerful in its effect.

  • Development and Democracy in the Tunisian Revolution
    The Process of Revolutionary Protest: Development and Democracy in the Tunisian Revolution Christopher Barrie∗ July 30, 2021 Abstract Revolutionary protest rarely begins life as democratic or revolutionary. Instead, it grows in a process of positive feedback, incorporating new constituencies and generating new demands. If protest is not revolutionary at its onset, theory should reflect this and be able to explain the endogenous emergence of democratic demands. In this article, I combine multiple data sources on the 2010-11 Tunisian Revolution, including survey data, an original event catalogue, and field interviews. I show that the correlates of protest occurrence and participation change significantly during the uprising. Using the Tunisian case as a theory-building exercise, I argue that the formation of protest coalitions is essential, rather than incidental, to democratic revolution. ∗Christopher Barrie is Lecturer in Computational Sociology at the University of Edinburgh. Correspon- dence to: [email protected]. 1 1 Introduction Mass mobilization is now a central pillar in in the theoretical and empirical scholarship on democratization. But while political transition to democracy can be marked in time—by the ouster of an authoritarian or the holding of elections—mass mobilization constitutes a pro- cess. A large body of empirical work in the democratization literature nonetheless treats revolutionary protest, or revolutionary protest participation, as discrete, unitary events amenable to cross-sectional forms of analysis. A separate body of work, particular to the formal modelling tradition, incorporates elements of endogeneity and process but assumes common thresholds governing participation dynamics, thereby again conceiving of revolu- tionary protest as unitary. In this article I propose that this ontology is wrongheaded; protest is rarely revolutionary at its onset and the goals and orienting demands of protest waves can be generated in the context of contention.
