| Sumario: | This thoughtful and engaging book offers the first extended analysis of coups, a central factor shaping world history and politics. Ivan Perkins introduces a new theory to explain why a military coup or revolution is such an unthinkable prospect in advanced democracies. Focusing especially on the first three coup-free states-the Venetian Republic, Great Britain, and the United States-the book traces the evolutionary origins of political violence and the historical rise of republican government. Perkins concludes with a new explanation for the "democratic peace" and shows why coup-free states form enduring alliances. |
