About this ebook
""Power Coups"" examines the volatile phenomenon of sudden government overthrows, delving into the preconditions, operational tactics, and diverse outcomes that characterize these events. Understanding power coups is crucial, as they often reshape political landscapes, ignite conflicts, and redefine international relations. The book explores how factors like economic grievances, social divisions, and the erosion of democratic institutions create environments ripe for upheaval. It also dissects strategies used by coup leaders, such as military mobilization and manipulation of public opinion.
The book distinguishes itself through a systematic analysis of both the micro-level tactics and the macro-level conditions shaping coups. For instance, the book highlights that the success of a coup isn't solely determined by force, but also by establishing legitimacy. Furthermore, the analysis draws from political science, history, sociology, and economics to provide a comprehensive understanding. Beginning with a definition and categorization of coups, the book progresses through historical context and case studies, offering a comparative perspective on regime change across diverse regions and political systems.
