Description
The 20th Century was pre-eminently an age of revolutions - in Russia, China, Cuba and elsewhere - that fundamentally transformed the nature of politics and social arrangements. As we enter a new century, has it got harder for revolutions to occur in the new unipolar, globalized world? Here, John Foran asks: is the era of revolution over?; if so, why?; and if not, what might the revolutions of the future? The contributors analyse past and present, and look speculatively forward. They examine a range of recent cases, from the backward-looking movement of the Taliban in Afghanistan to the magical revolution in progress in Chiapas, Mexico. The book includes thematic discussion on globalization, political agency and visions of revolutionary futures.

Description
As we enter a new century, has it got harder for revolutions to occur in a world of far-flung corporations and commodity chains, global cultural forms, instantaneous communication, and a new unipolar system of power?
In this volume, a number of eminent historians, sociologists and political scientists who have spent their lives studying revolutionary processes reflect on and debate this question.
Their reflections constitute a state of the art assessment of the conditioning factors shaping the likely incidence and possible new forms of radical political change in the era of globalization.
