the lost decade a comparative analysis of Revolutionary Movements in colombia peru and el salvador in the 1980s
Social Science Research Network, 2009Co-Authors: Eric C GirardAbstract:This research paper provides a comparative analysis that explains the formation, growth, and defeat of armed socialist Revolutionary Movements in the 1980s in Colombia, Peru, and El Salvador. It will examine the interaction of forces that led to the Revolutionary organizations’ formation, ascendance, and effectiveness. This comparison will occur within a new analytical framework that argues the success of these armed rebel groups, measured in size, power, and popular support, was contingent on their actions and interactions in relation to political, economic, social, and cultural structures and change within the geographic areas that the armed groups operated within.

revolutions and Revolutionary Movements
2003Co-Authors: Jeff GoodwinAbstract:The sociological study of revolutions has made enormous explanatory strides during the past two decades. We now understand much better than previously both the “classic” revolutions in England, France, and Russia and more recent revolutions in so-called developing societies (e.g., China, Vietnam, Cuba, Iran, and Nicaragua). Some scholars have also fruitfully examined the collapse of communism in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe as a peculiar type of revolution, and there is a growing literature on so-called Islamist Movements as a Revolutionary phenomenon. According to Randall Collins, “The most striking accumulation of knowledge” in the field of macrohistory “has taken place on Marx's favorite topic, revolution” (1999:3). Sociologists have been especially interested in understanding “great” or “social” revolutions, that is, revolutions that bring about not only a change of political regime but also fundamental economic and perhaps cultural change (but cf. Tilly, 1993). Social scientists in the United States in particular have been especially fascinated with such revolutions – perhaps because of the often strenuous efforts by their own government to prevent or reverse such revolutions, or perhaps because the United States itself was borne of a revolution that some analysts consider “great” or “radical” (e.g., Lipset, 1988; Wood, 1992). Crane Brinton (1965[1938]), Barrington Moore (1966), Chalmers Johnson (1982[1966]), Ted Robert Gurr (1970), Samuel Huntington (1968), Eric Wolf (1969), Jeffery Paige (1975, 1997), and Ellen Kay Trimberger (1978) are just a few of the scholars who have made important contributions to this tradition.

no other way out comparing Revolutionary Movements
2001Co-Authors: Jeff GoodwinAbstract:Scholars have offered some interesting theories on how revolution develops and why it develops, but they have generally failed to explain how similar elements have produced revolutions in some cases and not in others. Research in the field should begin to examine “failed revolutions” and “revolutions that never took place” as well as successful ones to determine the Revolutionary element or elements. – William E. Lipsky (1976: 508) Revolutionary Movements are not simply or exclusively a response to economic exploitation or inequality, but also and more directly a response to political oppression and violence, typically brutal and indiscriminate. This is the principal thesis of this book, one that I reach through an examination of Revolutionary Movements that emerged during the second half of what has been called the “short” twentieth century (1914–91), a period characterized by the Cold War between the United States and the former Soviet Union. The Cold War era (1945–91) was truly an “age of revolution,” even more so, arguably, than the great Revolutionary age of 1789–1848 (see Hobsbawm 1962). Dozens of powerful Revolutionary Movements emerged across the globe during this period, mainly in the Third World, and a number of them successfully overthrew existing political authorities. In the process, some Movements also radically restructured, destroyed, or replaced key institutions, social relationships, and shared beliefs.

the formation of Revolutionary Movements in central america
2001Co-Authors: Jeff GoodwinAbstract:That Revolutionary processes broke out only in some countries, even though economic change was a factor across the region, suggests that the disorders of capitalist modernization are not a sufficient explanation for the emergence of radical political challenges. The political conditions and institutions that framed those structural changes and their negative impacts on particular groups and classes must also be considered. – Carlos Vilas (1995: 79) I believe that the people have different motivations for fighting than those acquired by a more sophisticated leadership. Politically, people have more rudimentary motivations: often they simply have no choice, like in the case of the peasantry, such an important component of the struggle in El Salvador, which joined the guerrillas because it couldn't be on the other side, because their families were simply murdered. They know since they were born that the Army is evil and that the guerrillas are against the Army. That's about it. – Salvador Samayoa, Salvador guerrilla leader (quoted in Castaneda 1993: 241–2) In the preceding chapters, I have tried to demonstrate how a state-centered approach illuminates the uneven development of Revolutionary Movements in postwar Southeast Asia. But perhaps the power of this approach for that region, at that time, has something to do with the fact that these societies were formal colonies ruled by powerful external states that were then suddenly occupied by yet another foreign power, Japan.

The mystical- patriotic emotion of Revolutionary rights and lefts in Argentina in the 1970s. Memories and speeches by Juan Francisco Guevara and Raimundo Ongaro
2020Co-Authors: Bartolucci, Mónica InésAbstract:A través del análisis de los textos producidos por el teniente coronel Juan Francisco Guevara -militar nacionalista católico, experimentado conspirador, antiperonista, filiado con la derecha argentina- y de Raimundo Ongaro -sindicalista gráfico, católico nacionalista y alistado en el peronismo revolucionario de izquierda-, analizamos una serie de emotives como dolor, sangre, lucha, combate y liberación. Estas dos figuras, aun desde las antípodas ideológicas, formaron un “código comunicativo”. La noción de entrega vital, el compromiso con una causa, las estrategias de clandestinidad para acceder al poder, la apelación a la sangre, el sacrificio y el homenaje a los mártires, y la lucha en defensa de la patria, formaron parte de un clima emocional nacionalista y católico en la Argentina de los años setenta.Through the analysis of the texts produced by liutenant Colonel Juan Francisco Guevara (a catholic nationalist military man, experienced conspirator, and anti-peronist, adherent to argentine right-wing ideologies), and Raimundo Ongaro (a catholic nationalist union leader enlisted in left-wing Revolutionary Movements), this article analyzes a series of emotives such as pain, blood, fight and liberation. Both of these men, gave shape to a “communicative code”.

no other way out states and Revolutionary Movements 1945 1991 by jeff goodwin cambridge cambridge university press 2001 428p 60 00 cloth 23 00 paper
American Political Science Review, 2002Co-Authors: Eric SelbinAbstract:“Do we need yet another comparative study of revolutions?” (p. 5; emphasis in original), Jeff Goodwin asks in this eagerly (and long) anticipated and important new book, which is destined to influence scholars in several disciplines and fields. The answer, as this volume makes abundantly clear, is “yes,” and few will be disappointed with this well-written, accessible, and compelling volume, the most nuanced and sophisticated argument yet for the state-centered (but, pace Goodwin, not structuralist; see p. 53) approach, and worthy heir to Theda Skocpol's (1979) still paradigmatic States and Social Revolutions. But therein lies the rub: Rather than the first book of the (putative) emergent fourth generation of scholars of revolution(s), this is likely the last of the third generation. Goodwin concedes he has “largely moved beyond” (p. xvi) the perspective he articulates here, and he, along with John Foran, is one of the most likely suspects to produce the next paradigmatic statement on revolutions. This, then, would seem the third generation's crowning glory; given the long gestation period and the prolific Goodwin's many and impressive contributions to matters Revolutionary, this is almost more a legend than a book.

Social Science History, 1994Co-Authors: Timothy P WickhamcrowleyAbstract:Social revolutions as well as Revolutionary Movements have recently held great interest for both sociopolitical theorists and scholars of Latin American politics. Before we can proceed with any useful analysis, however, we must distinguish between these two related but not identical phenomena. Adapting Theda Skocpol’s approach, we can define social revolutions as “rapid, basic transformations of a society’s state and class structures; and they are accompanied and in part carried through by” mass-based revolts from below, sometimes in cross-class coalitions (Skocpol 1979: 4; Wickham-Crowley 1991:152). In the absence of such basic sociopolitical transformations, I will not speak of (social) revolution or of a Revolutionary outcome, only about Revolutionary Movements, exertions, projects, and so forth. Studies of the failures and successes of twentieth-century Latin American revolutions have now joined the ongoing theoretical debate as to whether such outcomes occur due to society- or movement-centered processes or instead due to state- or regime-centered events (Wickham-Crowley 1992).
