It is time to advance the next generation of revolution studies. In recent years, protestors have taken to the streets in many regions of the world. In Algeria in 2019, citizens forced the resignation of the country’s longtime president and pressed for new elections. Around the same time, Sudanese citizens mobilized protests until the military ousted their country’s long- standing dictator. Like their Algerian counterparts, Sudan’s civil resisters have persistently demanded that the new military rulers implement democratization. In Lebanon, austerity measures and corruption led to massive anti- government protests. In Hong Kong, hundreds of thousands resisted an extradition agreement with mainland China that, it was argued, would erode the region’s autonomy and freedoms. Even after the bill was retracted, protestors did not go home; into 2020 and 2021, they continued to demand political change. In Santiago, Chile, upward of a million citizens marched toward the Plaza Italia, banging pots and pans in the country’s well- established form of protest. What began as a protest against subway fare increases escalated into a call for a new national constitution, a process that began in 2021. In Venezuela, citizens attempted to push President Nicolas Maduro out of office, after denouncing his 2018 re- election as fraudulent. Electoral manipulation also sparked massive protests in 2020 in Belarus, where civil resisters demanded that President Alexander Lukashenko resign, and in Kyrgyzstan, where protesters successfully dislodged President Sooronbay Jeenbekov. In 2021, a military coup in Myanmar generated large- scale protests that developed into a “Spring revolution” and “defensive war” against the regime. These events, and many others in recent years, echo the 2011 Arab revolutions that produced considerable intra- elite and popular contestation, counter- revolution, and civil wars. And the Arab uprisings in turn hearkened back to the tactics of youth activists in the Color Revolutions in Serbia, Georgia, Kyrgyzstan, and Ukraine, who themselves had found a model in the collapse of communist regimes in 1989. In the 21st century, the path toward revolution has been renewed.
