"The existence of revolutionary waves is a well-known feature of history. This study contends that revolutionary waves are best understood as systemic phenomena occurring during periods of rapid
world-cultural expansion. Rapid expansion and deeper penetration of cultural linkages is theorized to
generate contradiction between idealized models and local political practices, empower oppositions,
and fracture elites, resulting in waves of revolution Results suggest that the occurrence of
revolutionary waves is positively associated with relatively rapid world-cultural growth and
hegemonic decline, as indicated by periods of hegemonic warfare."
