Although the causes of revolution are often internal, the
occurrence of revolution has serious international consequences:
existing alliances are upset, the importance of small and weak
countries may be magnified, and serious efforts may be required to
prevent the export of revolutions to other countries. Mark N. Katz
brings together twelve readings from an impressive group of
scholars that shed light on this important link between revolution
and international relations. Katz introduces students to the ways
in which revolution has impacted the international system and to
key terms so they are better prepared to critically read and
analyze the selections that follow. A distinctive feature of this
collection-and one guaranteed to spark lively classroom
discussion-is the inclusion of contending views in each part that
explore a particular issue. The readings in Part I, for example,
present differing arguments on why the link between revolution and
international conflict exists or how it occurs. The authors
excerpted in Part III disagree about the success or failure of
democratization as a means to preempt revolution. And the final
section offers opposing views as to the future impact of revolution
on the international system. Abundant pedagogy throughout the
volume guides students through each reading. Both a general and
part introductions frame the readings while selection headnotes and
critical thinking questions offer background information and
underscore important cross-cutting themes. In addition, an
annotated list of suggested readings points students toward
resources for further study and research.
