Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of California, Riverside, 1998.

Processes of state breakdown described in the work of Goldstone (1991), Skocpol (1979) and Collins (1986 and 1990) are integrated to construct a macrostructural model of societal disintegration using the theorizing strategy introduced by Jonathan Turner (1995) in Macrodynamics. Structural processes in these models are conceptualized as instances of the more abstract macrodynamic forces. Ragin's (1987) idea of conjunctures of factors is used to group interacting factors together, and the conjunctures are seen as alternative routes to societal disintegration. The three alternative routes causing disintegration are the (1) Goldstone route involving population growth not accompanied by similar growth in production and concentrated power, (2) geopolitics route involving deteriorating geopolitical conditions and increasing external threat, and (3) distribution-power route involving rapidly growing distribution coupled with declining concentrated power. Principles from covariance structural modeling are used to create measurement models for each macrodynamic force, thus allowing for rigorous data collection and analyses. The Rebellion of the Three Feudatories (1674-1680), White Lotus Rebellion (1796-1805), Taiping Rebellion (1851-1864), and the 1911 Nationalist Revolution in Qing China are studied as cases that manifested varying degrees of societal disintegration. The goal is to explain different magnitudes of changes in societal disintegration from one case to the next, and examine why revolution did not occur in the mid-nineteenth century when conditions appeared conducive. The findings reveal no change in societal disintegration between the Three Feudatories and White Lotus rebellions, significant increase from the White Lotus Rebellion to the Taiping Rebellion, and even greater increase from the Taiping Rebellion to the 1911 Nationalist Revolution. Comparative analyses show that although population pressures had increased before the 1911 Nationalist Revolution, changes in the geopolitics and distribution-power routes caused the dramatic increase in societal disintegration from the period of the Taiping Rebellion to the 1911 Revolution.
