Describe The Anatomies of Revolution.

“According to the author of our reading on revolution this summer, while there has been a lot of work on revolution, theories of revolution have largely been ignored, especially with regard to more recent revolutionary events. Is he correct and are we experiencing a new age of revolutions? Do contemporary revolutions share anything in common with revolutions in the past? Lawson offers us a fresh perspective and theory on revolutions and seeks to delve into the origins, processes and outcomes of revolutions and argues that revolutions are dynamic process that incorporates both domestic and international characteristics. How then do revolutions of today compare with past eras? What are the limits of Lawson’s theory and how might it be challenged?”
