Conclusion: Revolution, Reform, and Resilience
Hazem Kandil is the Cambridge University Lecturer in Political Sociology and Fellow of St Catharine's College. He studies power relations in revolution and war in the Middle East, Western Europe, and North America.
"This is a fascinating, persuasive, and highly original analysis of
power struggles within states between the political elite, the
armed forces, and the security police - Kandil's 'power triangle'.
The subject-matter is recent Middle Eastern states, on which Kandil
is highly authoritative. Yet his model could be fruitfully applied
to non-democratic states throughout the world. This is the best
political sociology I have read in years."
--Michael Mann, Distinguished Research Professor, UCLA
"In this tour de force of comparative historical sociology, Kandil
addresses the puzzle of 'revolutions from above' and their
different outcomes across the Middle East in the mid-twentieth
century. With forensic skill and an informed theoretical grounding,
as well as a deep historical understanding of the processes
involved, he analyses the regime dynamics of the military coup
makers in Iran, Turkey and Egypt. In doing so, he provides an
insightful and highly
plausible account of the very different trajectories that developed
from the initial coups d'état."
--Charles Tripp, Professor of Politics, SOAS, University of London
