<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br><p>Risto Alapuro, through a comparative and historical study of the Finnish revolution, provides a pertinent account of how upheavals in powerful countries impact smaller countries.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>By analysing the experience of Finland, Risto Alapuro shows how upheavals in powerful countries shape the internal politics of smaller countries. This linkage, a highly topical subject in the twenty-first century world, is concretely studied by putting the abortive Finnish revolution of 1917-18 into a long historical and a broad comparative perspective. In the former respect the revolution appears as a tragic culmination in the unfolding of a small European state. In the latter respect it appears as one of those crises that new states experienced when they emerged from the turmoils of the First World War.</p><p>This second edition includes a new Postscript.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><strong>Risto Alapuro</strong>, Ph.D. in Sociology, University of Helsinki (1973), is (retired) Professor of Sociology at the University of Helsinki.
