Modern Revolution - Social Change and Cultural Continuity in Czechoslovakia and China (Hardcover, New)

This book analyzes the causal convergence of the 1989 Velvet Revolution in Czechoslovakia, through socio-cultural and political economic perspectives, within a comparative historical methodological framework, while contrasting it with China's Tiananmen Square rebellion that same year. The key strategy in tracking the causal convergence is a measured emphasis on structures, agencies, cultures, and their interactions.
