Abstract
This paper critically discusses Max Weber’s analysis of the political situation in Russia in 1917,particularly his article on the February Revolution [Russia’s transition to pseudo-democracy].We establish the links between this article and his writings on the Russian revolution of 1905,focusing on the analysis of social classes and the viability of a democratic coalition capableof supplanting tsarism. In 1917, Weber questions the democratic character of the “provisionalgovernment” and concludes that the revolutionary process was nothing but the annulment ofan incompetent monarch, without changing the conservative position of the ruling classes inrelation to the agrarian question, nor their dependence on foreign banks. Thus, we analyze themistakes that led Weber to disregard the possibility of an alliance between workers and peasants,as well as the insufficiencies of his theoretical scheme to include the dynamics of the massmovement in the historical transformation.
期刊介绍:
Politics & Society is a peer-reviewed journal. All submitted papers are read by a rotating editorial board member. If a paper is deemed potentially publishable, it is sent to another board member, who, if agreeing that it is potentially publishable, sends it to a third board member. If and only if all three agree, the paper is sent to the entire editorial board for consideration at board meetings. The editorial board meets three times a year, and the board members who are present (usually between 9 and 14) make decisions through a deliberative process that also considers written reports from absent members. Unlike many journals which rely on 1–3 individual blind referee reports and a single editor with final say, the peers who decide whether to accept submitted work are thus the full editorial board of the journal, comprised of scholars from various disciplines, who discuss papers openly, with author names known, at meetings. Editors are required to disclose potential conflicts of interest when evaluating manuscripts and to recuse themselves from voting if such a potential exists.
