Parallelism in Revolution


Book Description

Read the book which predicted the rise of the radical Islamic right in Iran. Originally released in August 1999 under the title Democratic Transitions and the Weber/Freud Connection, the book noted that the government in Iran was in jeopardy of being usurped by radical right-wing forces. The predictions contained in this work were based on Dr. Matthew C. Wells theory of Political Parallelism. In light of recent political events (i.e., the triumph of the Abadgaran faction in 2004 parliamentary elections and the recent election of Iranian neo-con Mahmud Ahmadinejad to the presidency), this book has become all the more timely.




Parallelism: a Handbook of Social Analysis


Book Description

Parallelism is a theory of social processes. It represents an attempt at systematizing historical events. Other scholars have sought to employ similar approaches and methods. This has led in political science to the development of a series of theories and classificatory schemas for revolutions, wars, political systems, etc. The parallelistic approach assumes that such processes can not only be understood but manifestly justified and exposed through the use of predictive power. Currently this approach has identified two macro-historical patterns. The first is Revolution Pattern Type A, the second, Paternalistic Regime/Hegemonic War Pattern Type A.
