A reassessment of the place of revolution within International Relations theory and in modern history. Traces the origins and evolution of the modern concept of 'revolution' in an historical context; argues for the centrality of revolution for any understanding of international relations; and sees revolutions as part of internationalised social conflict and as challenges to the system of states. Also includes chapters which discuss war, counter-revolution and post-revolutionary transformation.
