OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
In this talk, James Mahoney discusses a conjuctural theory of revolutions. Political revolutions are defined as rapid transformations of a sovereign territory’s political order, including its national government, political regime, and state institutions. Mahoney theorizes that these events occur as the conjuncture of two different kinds of conflicts at two different levels of analysis: (1) a political struggle at the domestic level involving challenges to a vulnerable regime-state; and (2) an ideational struggle at the global level between competing ideological systems for organizing the state and state-society relations. Mahoney uses this theory to make sense of political revolutions associated with three global ideologies: liberalism, corporatism, and socialism.
Discussant: Javier Perez Sandoval (Oxford)
