Revolution! A Global History from 1640 to the Present

The modern world was born out of Revolution. To this day, dramatic political change is most often the result of Revolution. This course will explore how Revolution became a model for changing the course of history. From the English revolutions of the 1600's to the current upheavals in the Arab world, passing through the French, Russian, and Chinese revolutions, we will study how Revolution has been conceived, carried out, and re-invented around the world.
