This book, as the first volume of a multiple volume endeavor to analyze several revolutions of the “long” nineteenth and “short” twentieth century to show how revolutionary processes evolved, takes a closer look at the Atlantic Revolutions, that is, the American, the French, and the Haitian Revolution. It will therefore use a comparative ten-step model to emphasize 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.
Presents a 10-step analytical model for the comparative study of world revolutions, including the violation of rights, disagreements, protest, reaction (e.g., compromise, ignorance, violence), a point of no return, struggle, change, an internal power struggle, violence, and the establishment of a new regime. Some revolutions may skip political steps, while others may stop before the final phase. — CHOICE
