Abstract

ABSTRACT This study analyses the “Velvet Revolution” of 2018 in Armenia, making a comparison with previous democratization attempts in order to facilitate understanding of some of the long-term tendencies which eventually made the revolution possible. Mass protest movements in Armenia, beginning with non-successful post-electoral protests in 2003–2004 and ending with the civil disobedience campaign resulting in regime collapse in 2018 are analyzed, and some comparisons with other cases of regime change and following developments are offered. The study contributes to the understanding of why this particular mode of regime change succeeded at that particular moment, and the implications for the post-revolution period.

亚美尼亚通过反复的大规模抗议走向民主化

摘要本研究分析了2018年亚美尼亚的“天鹅绒革命”，并与以往的民主化尝试进行了比较，以便于理解最终使革命成为可能的一些长期趋势。分析了亚美尼亚的大规模抗议运动，从2003年至2004年的选举后抗议活动不成功开始，到2018年导致政权崩溃的公民抗命运动结束，并与其他政权更迭和随后的事态发展进行了一些比较。这项研究有助于理解为什么这种特殊的政权更迭模式在那个特殊的时刻取得了成功，以及对革命后时期的影响。

期刊介绍： Caucasus Survey is a new peer-reviewed, multidisciplinary and independent journal, concerned with the study of the Caucasus – the independent republics of Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia, de facto entities in the area and the North Caucasian republics and regions of the Russian Federation. Also covered are issues relating to the Republic of Kalmykia, Crimea, the Cossacks, Nogays, and Caucasian diasporas. Caucasus Survey aims to advance an area studies tradition in the humanities and social sciences about and from the Caucasus, connecting this tradition with core disciplinary concerns in the fields of history, political science, sociology, anthropology, cultural and religious studies, economics, political geography and demography, security, war and peace studies, and social psychology. Research enhancing understanding of the region’s conflicts and relations between the Russian Federation and the Caucasus, internationally and domestically with regard to the North Caucasus, features high in our concerns.
