Education And Revolutions. Why Do Revolutionary Uprisings Take Violent Or Nonviolent Forms?

Is there a relationship between education and the type of revolutionary action – violent or nonviolent? Past studies found a positive relationship between the education and nonviolence, but the influence that education produces on the form that revolution takes has not yet been explored. This paper examines it at a cross-national level with an analysis of 370 revolutionary episodes recorded between 1950 and 2019. By using logistic regression and our own index, we fully confirmed the hypothesis: education is a strong and consistently significant predictor of the form of revolutionary movement.

In recent years, a kind of “Berlin Wall” has emerged between the study of “revolutions” and “maximalist campaigns.” Although scholars in these two traditions analyze closely related phenomena, they use different terminology, bodies of literature, and empirical conventions. We argue that this separation is analytically costly and prevents fruitful dialogue. On one hand, this leads ...
