The revolution to come : a history of an idea from Thucydides to Lenin
Political thinkers from Plato to John Adams saw revolutions as a grave threat to society and advocated for a constitution that prevented them by balancing social interests and forms of government. 'The Revolution to Come' traces how evolving conceptions of history ushered in a faith in the power of revolution to create more just and reasonable societies. Taking readers from Greek antiquity to Leninist Russia, Dan Edelstein describes how classical philosophers viewed history as chaotic and directionless, and sought to keep historical change - especially revolutions - at bay.

Returning to revolution
An account of the concept of revolution in the work of Deleuze and Guattari. We are witnessing the return of political revolution. But this is not a return to the classical forms of revolution: the capture of the state, the political representation of the party, the centrality of the proletariat, or the leadership of the vanguard. Rather, after the failure of such tactics over the last century, revolutionary strategy is now headed in an entirely new direction. Much has been written on Deleuze and Guattari's political philosophy in the last 15 years, but Returning to Revolution is the first full-length work to-date on their central concept of revolution and its emergence alonside the most influential revolutionary movement of the 21st century: Zapatismo.• Outlines the theoretical and practical origins of the return to political revolution• Provides the first full-length account of Deleuze and Guattari's relationship to a concrete revolutionary struggle (Zapatismo)

Revolutions
Revolutions: Finished and Unfinished, From Primal to Final is an important philosophical contribution to the study of revolution. It not only makes new contributions to the study of particular revolutions, but to developing a philosophy of revolution itself. Many of the contributors have been inspired by the philosophical approaches of Eric Voegelin or Eugen Rosenstock-Huessy, and the tension between these two social philosophies adds to the philosophical uniqueness and richness of the work.

The negative revolution : political subjectivity after the end of the Cold War
\"This thought-provoking work analyzes concrete political events and reinterprets key concepts in modern political science. Building on the works of Kant, Badiou, Adorno, Hegel, and more, it posits that the dynamics of revolution can be encapsulated in the concept of negation, since a revolution essentially negates \"what is\" by rejecting the power in place. The work argues that revolution is the true ground of Western democracy and that the proof of a true democracy is the activity of protest movements. It discusses how modern philosophy conceives political truth as revolutionary or eventful, and that one aspect of revolution is negativity, which fluctuates between inertia and melancholia. It examines the problem of revolution in the context of modern philosophy, providing a diagnosis of the historical developments since the fall of the Soviet Union to the Arab Spring, setting forth an original theory of revolution while shedding light on the notion of negativity in contemporary thought. This innovative work will appeal to anyone interested in political theory and political philosophy\"-- Provided by publisher.

Revolution and War
Revolution within a state almost invariably leads to intense
security competition between states, and often to war. In
Revolution and War , Stephen M. Walt explains why this is
so, and suggests how the risk of conflicts brought on by domestic
upheaval might be reduced in the future. In doing so, he explores
one of the basic questions of international relations: What are the
connections between domestic politics and foreign policy?Walt
begins by exposing the flaws in existing theories about the
relationship between revolution and war. Drawing on the theoretical
literature about revolution and the realist perspective on
international politics, he argues that revolutions cause wars by
altering the balance of threats between a revolutionary state and
its rivals. Each state sees the other as both a looming danger and
a vulnerable adversary, making war seem both necessary and
attractive.Walt traces the dynamics of this argument through
detailed studies of the French, Russian, and Iranian revolutions,
and through briefer treatment of the American, Mexican, Turkish,
and Chinese cases. He also considers the experience of the Soviet
Union, whose revolutionary transformation led to conflict within
the former Soviet empire but not with the outside world. An
important refinement of realist approaches to international
politics, this book unites the study of revolution with scholarship
on the causes of war.
