Beschreibung:
Using a comparative historical methodology, this book analyzes the causal convergence of the 1989 Velvet Revolution in Czechoslovakia from socio-cultural and political economic perspectives, and contrasts it with China's Tiananmen Square rebellion during same year. The key strategy in tracking the causal convergence is a measured emphasis on structures, agencies, cultures, and their interactions.
