A classic comparative study in historical sociology that analyzes why social revolutions occurred in France, Russia, and China — focusing on the structural, social, and international-political conditions that enabled revolutionary change. Theda Skocpol argues that revolutions result from a conjuncture of state breakdown, peasant insurgency, and international pressures, offering a rigorous model for understanding major social upheavals across different societies.
