Koç Sosyoloji Konuşmaları: Hayatta Kalmak İçin Reform Yapmak

Based on a recent Cambridge UP book, this talk details how elites provide policy concessions when they face credible threats of revolution. Specifically, the authors discuss how the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917 and the subsequent formation of Comintern enhanced elites' perceptions of revolutionary threat by affecting the capacity and motivation of labor movements as well as the elites' interpretation of information signals.
