Provides a comparative ten-step model for revolutions and shows that these must be considered a global phenomenon of modernity.This book will analyse several revolutions of the 'long' nineteenth and 'short' twentieth century to show how revolutionary processes evolved. It will therefore use a comparative ten-step model to emphasise similarities with regard to the revolutionary developments in different parts of the world. The book consequently aims at providing a general, but deeper, understanding of revolutions as a global phenomenon of modernity while explaining how revolutionary processes evolve and develop, and how they could and can be corrupted. The revolutionary case studies discussed will include, among others, France, Russia, Mexico, and China.
