  • Summary

    This chapter examines the nature of the post-revolutionary state in planned and spontaneous revolutions and the means and processes through which new state leaders build new institutions and consolidate power. In order to reign in the chaos unleashed by the revolutionary movements, post-revolutionary leaders frequently resort to liberal use of violence, eliminate former collaborators and colleagues, initiate populist measures, and chase domestic and international enemies, real and imagined.
