    Randall Collins

  • Publication Details

    Book, Princeton University Press, 2004

  • Description

    It proposes that successful rituals create symbols of group membership and pump up individuals with emotional energy, while failed rituals drain emotional energy.

Macrohistory : Essays In Sociology Of The Long Run

  • Macrohistory : Essays In Sociology Of The Long Run

  • Attribution

    Randall Collins

  • Publication Details

    Book, Stanford University Press, 1999

  • Description

    It describes the scholarly revolution that has taken place in the Marxian-inspired theory of revolutions, the shift to a state-breakdown model in which revolutions, rather than bubbling up from discontent below, start at the top in the fiscal strains of the state. The author links revolutions to military-centered transformations of the state, and reviews how he used this theory in the early 1980s to predict the breakdown of the Soviet empire.

    Book, Oxford University Press, 1994
