A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture :

1989 was one of the great Years of Revolution in history, and itwas also the anniversary of many famous revolutions. As the worldcommemorated the two hundredth anniversary of the FrenchRevolution, startling changes were occuring in an Eastern Europewhose political map had been drawn in the aftermath of the SecondWorld War, the revolutionary consequences of which could hardly beimagined at its outbreak fifty years before in 1939.

Although few of us can have expected to see the revolutionarychanges of 1989 in our lifetime, it remains to be seen whetherhistory will judge all of the upheavals in Eastern Europe as′revolutions′, or whether some will be categorized in latercenturies as ′revolts′, ′coups′, ′failed revolutions′, or indeed′counter–revolutions′.

The distinguished contributors to this volume, published in theWolfson College Lectures series, enjoy the advantage of historicalperespective regarding past revolutions and counter–revolutions.Their papers present a wide–ranging analysis both of the conceptsof revolution and counter–revolution, and of particular upheavalsof vastly different character.
