| Term: Fall Semester 2020 |
| Description: This course examines the dynamics and causes of protest, rebellion, and revolution. Topics include the three 'great' revolutions -- the French, Russian, and Chinese -- as well as such social science theories as moral economy, rational choice, resource mobilization, political culture, and relative deprivation. Attention will be devoted to peasant protest and elite responses to resistance movements. The objectives of the class are to familiarize students with alternative explanations of revolutionary change and to provide students with an opportunity to link general theories to specific case studies. |
