Despite enormous differences between Asia and Eastern Europe, there
are striking similarities between the peaceful, spontaneous,
urban-based and cross-class democratic uprisings against unyielding
dictatorships that have occurred in the two regions. The book
explores the kind of non-democratic regimes that are particularly
vulnerable to democratic revolutions. It examines why and how
democrats rebel and what the results of democratic revolutions have
been. Questions posed in this book include: * Why were communist
rulers shot in China but not in Eastern Europe? * Why did stolen
elections lead to the overthrow of Miloevic in Serbia? * Why have
there been so many women leading democratic revolutions in Asia?
This book attempts to democratize theories of revolution and
revolutionize democratic transitions. Cases and comparisons are
drawn from 15 democratic revolutions over the last two decades and
the book includes in-depth studies of East Germany, China, Serbia
and the Philippines.
