Class Description:
?Modern Political Revolutions: Political Contention and Global Historical Transformations? With the publication in 1962 of The Age of Revolution: 1789-1848 Eric Hobsbawm took the history of revolutions in new directions by connecting political revolutions with economic transformation. Hobsbawm also anticipated later developments in global history by suggesting connections between revolutionary ideas and events in Europe and contemporaneous or subsequent revolutions elsewhere in the world ? in the Americas and beyond. Starting with a global reframing of `the age of revolutions? this course will focus on select revolutionary moments from the mid-18th century to the early 21st century that hold particular significance in terms of global dynamics. We examine a continuum of political movements and processes that resulted in transfers of power over states, such as the French Revolution and the Russian Revolution. But we will not limit ourselves to ?successful? revolutions; we will also include cases where revolutionary situations did not result directly in regime change, such as the Taiping Rebellion or the 1848-49 revolts in Europe. The first half of the semester will be devoted to common reading and development of frameworks for analyzing revolutions. In the second half, each student will do a research project addressing selected dimensions of a particular revolution. In addition, the student research project should involve some element of tracking specific global flows ? of ideas, people, processes, or political practices ? that connected the revolutionary movement to other event across the globe or across time.
