The Politics of revolution : some problems in the strategy of socialist transformation.Greaves, Duncan Bruce. January 1988 (has links)
Theories of the transition to socialism typically invoke, in one
way or another, the notion of revolution. This dissertation is a
discussion and analysis, largely conceptual in character, of the
political dimensions of this notion. More exactly, it is a
discussion of some principal Marxian accounts of revolution.
In Part I the theoretical foundations of this account are
explored by way of a methodological introduction (invoking the
construct of essential contestedness).
In Part 2 the contours of this account are sketched, and
subjected to some (largely internal) analysis. The focus here is
on Marx and the dominant figures in the political tradition to
which his work gave rise, namely Lenin, Kautsky, Luxemburg and
Gramsci.
In Part 3 this distinctively Marxian account is subjected to a
critique on two lines: the first line concerns the validity of
its account of class, and the second the plausibility of its
model of collective action. In both cases the Marxian account is
found to be inadequate. Since the very heart of this account is
a notion of purposive class action, the Marxian theory of
revolution is thus called into serious question. / Thesis (M.A.)-University of Natal, Durban, 1988.

A revolutionary atmosphere : England in the aftermath of the French revolutionUnderwood, Scott V. January 1990 (has links)
This study is a cross-examination of the theory of revolution and the historical view of English society and politics in the late eighteenth century. Historical research focused upon the most respected (if not the most recent) works containing theory and information about the effects of the French Revolution on English society and politics. Research into the theory of revolution was basically a selection process whereby a few of the most extensive and reasonable theories were chosen for use.The cross-study of the two fields revealed that, although historians view it as politically conservative and generally complacent, English society, fettered by antiquated political institutions and keenly aware of the recent French Revolution, contained all the elements conducive to rebellion listed by the theorists of revolution. In the final analysis, research indicated revolution did not occur in England because of the confluence of political, military and social events in England and France. / Department of History

Christian rebellion theories as delivered by St. Paul from Mars Hill by Augustine, Calvin and AdamsHastings, Jason Michael, University of Lethbridge. Faculty of Arts and Science January 2003 (has links)
This thesis explicates teh rebellion theories of three reowned Christian political thinkers and evaluates the extent that each can communicate an intelligible rebellion theory to a non-Christian audience. Augustine of Hippo, at a dawn of the medieval ages, John Calvin of Geneva during the Reformation and John Adams of the USA in the midst of the Enlightenment are the three thinkers selected for consideration. These thinkers have produced ideas that have transcended time and geographical location. Rebellion is an issue of the utmost political importance as it reveals the limits, and the first principles of politics. The issues surrounding the involovement of religion in politics have created a place for confusion in minds of many people today. The issues surrounding religion and politics need further elucidation. The way these thinkers were able to translate the divine command from Romans 13:1, which decrees an absolute prohibition against rebellion, into an intelligible rebellion theory to non-Christians, is an important consideration in this thesis. / ix, 158 leaves ; 28 cm.
