"From Rebellion to Revolution: Dynamics of Political Change"
16th Berlin Roundtables on Transnationality, October 17 – 20, 2012, WZB

Over the last two years, peaceful demonstrations as well as violent revolts have swept away autocratic regimes and challenged long standing nepotistic elites. In spite of political and scholarly sceptisicm, revolution has once more provided an efficient instrument for political change. Or hasn't it? In the light of recent developments, the 16th Berlin Roundtables want to analyze revolutionary processes, their causes, and outcomes.
