Social revolutions in small states.
Fistein, David.

Social revolutions in small states. - 330 p.

Adviser: Jean-Germain Gros.

Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Missouri - Saint Louis, 2006.

This dissertation uses comparative political history to test hypotheses based on the Skocpolian conjunction theory with a data set of social revolutions in five small states spanning two centuries, namely, Haiti (1791-1804), Bavaria (1918-19), Hungary (1918-19), Cuba (1956-9), Guinea-Bissau (1963-74). In her early (1979) and later work (1994), Skocpol identifies five variables that interact to create the historical conjunction that causes a social revolution: state, international environment, economy, class structure, local politics. What sets apart this comparative research project is that it considers state size as a theoretically important factor, and it proposes that leaders should be considered a causal variable. If one follows the logic of the Skocpolian theory consistently, then all states are autonomous, even small ones, and hence they are independent, to some degree, from domestic social structures as well as international politics. As a result, One needs to study how the international system enhances as much as it limits the autonomy of small states.

520 $a The findings tend to confirm the proposition that social revolutions in small states are not mere replications of the great ones. As a matter of fact, small states actually can have a considerable impact on the balance of power in the international system, as was the case with the social revolution in Guinea-Bissau, which contributed to the fall of the Salazar dictatorship in Portugal. International pressure contributed heavily to the outbreak of all five social revolutions, but it was the response of the local small state based on domestic social, historical, and political factors that provided the decisive push towards a social revolutionary conjunction. The importance of leaders and the domestic politics of small states, in spite of their political and economic dependence on more powerful states, stand out as key causal variables that are generally not discussed in other studies. The physical closeness between a small state and its citizens tends to lead to the mobilization of a revolutionary coalition behind a prominent leader relatively quickly as compared to larger states, when the state looses its nationalistic credentials and shows itself intransigent to public demands for reforms.
