Description
Revolutions upset the existing international order, but not all revolutions upset it equally. In this text, the focus falls on arguably the most disruptive kind of revolutionary wave: the kind that spreads by sparking affiliate revolution in other countries. The author investigates three revolutionary waves - Marxist-Leninist, Arab nationalist and Islamic fundamentalist - in an effort to unearth the complex relationship patterns of the revolutionary actors within them. He also makes show more predictions on the fate of the Islamic fundamentalist wave, arguing that it suffers from the same internal problems and contradictions which led to the collapse of the Marxist-Leninist and Arab nationalist revolutions. show lessTags
