Description:

Political scientists define social revolution as a radical social, economic, and political change.

In each case the focus will be on three phases: the crises of the old regime, the causes of the revolution, and the outcome of the revolution. Critical thinking, creativity, and in-class discussions and team presentations are essential requirements of this course.
