About the book
A classic and influential analysis of the psychological, social and political causes of human rebellion and political violence. Ted Robert Gurr examines "relative deprivation"—the feeling that one deserved more than one has—as the central driver of revolutionary movements, ethnic conflicts and social protests.
Based on comparative studies of multiple historical and contemporary conflicts, the book offers a robust theoretical framework for understanding revolutions, insurgencies and social movements, making it a fundamental reference in political science and conflict studies.
