Technique Coup D'Etat - The Technique of Revolution
Author: Curzio MalapartePublisher: CreateSpace
ISBN: 9781497567849
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 100
Book Description
This is a great book from someone who's been inside of coups and other forms of political engineering. The book goes from Napoleon's coup to how others used his (and others such as various Romans) actions as an example. This leads to the beginning of the modern coup with the Russians as envisioned by Lenin and Trotsky. This book is definitely one of the best books written on the subject and is quoted in many other works such as Edward Luttwak's "Coup d'Etat: A Practical Handbook." Also, if you interested in the fine points and historical matters of the Russian Revolution from the inside it is also quite informative in such matters.
How to Prevent Coups d'État
Author: Erica De BruinPublisher: Cornell University Press
ISBN: 1501751921
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 147
Book Description
In this lively and provocative book, Erica De Bruin looks at the threats that rulers face from their own armed forces. Can they make their regimes impervious to coups? How to Prevent Coups d'État shows that how leaders organize their coercive institutions has a profound effect on the survival of their regimes. When rulers use presidential guards, militarized police, and militia to counterbalance the regular military, efforts to oust them from power via coups d'état are less likely to succeed. Even as counterbalancing helps to prevent successful interventions, however, the resentment that it generates within the regular military can provoke new coup attempts. And because counterbalancing changes how soldiers and police perceive the costs and benefits of a successful overthrow, it can create incentives for protracted fighting that result in the escalation of a coup into full-blown civil war. Drawing on an original dataset of state security forces in 110 countries over a span of fifty years, as well as case studies of coup attempts in Asia, Africa, Latin America, and the Middle East, De Bruin sheds light on how counterbalancing affects regime survival. Understanding the dynamics of counterbalancing, she shows, can help analysts predict when coups will occur, whether they will succeed, and how violent they are likely to be. The arguments and evidence in this book suggest that while counterbalancing may prevent successful coups, it is a risky strategy to pursue—and one that may weaken regimes in the long term.

The coup is the most frequently attempted method of changing government, and the most successful.

In doing so, the book sheds much light on societies where power does indeed grow out of the barrel of a gun and the role of law is a concept little understood.

Coup D'État
Author: Marek BankowiczPublisher: Peter Lang Gmbh, Internationaler Verlag Der Wissenschaften
ISBN: 9783631632741
Category : Coups d'état
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
In this book the author analyzes the phenomenon of coup d'état as a specific means of gaining state power. Though quite frequently found in practice, this phenomenon is almost completely unexplored in political theory. The author examines the concept of coup d'état itself and its various connotations and compares coup d'état with other forms of usurpation of state power, such as revolutions, rebellions, civil wars or guerilla warfare. He also deals with the technique of coup d'état. The book includes an overview of accomplished coups d'état since the beginning of the twentieth century and a list of present political leaders who came to power in this way.
Coup d'État
Author: Edward N. LuttwakPublisher: Harvard University Press
ISBN: 0674969650
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 303
Book Description
Coup d’État astonished readers when it first appeared in 1968 because it showed, step by step, how governments could be overthrown. Translated into sixteen languages, it has inspired anti-coup precautions by regimes around the world. In addition to these detailed instructions, Edward Luttwak’s revised handbook offers an altogether new way of looking at political power—one that considers, for example, the vulnerability to coups of even the most stable democracies in the event of prolonged economic distress. The world has changed dramatically in the past half century, but not the essence of the coup d’état. It still requires the secret recruitment of military officers who command the loyalty of units well placed to seize important headquarters and key hubs in the capital city. The support of the armed forces as a whole is needed only in the aftermath, to avoid countercoups. And mass support is largely irrelevant, although passive acceptance is essential. To ensure it, violence must be kept to a minimum. The ideal coup is swift and bloodless. Very violent coups rarely succeed, and if they trigger a bloody civil war they fail utterly. Luttwak identifies conditions that make countries vulnerable to a coup, and he outlines the necessary stages of planning, from recruitment of coconspirators to postcoup promises of progress and stability. But much more broadly, his investigation of coups—updated for the twenty-first century—uncovers important truths about the nature of political power.
