Assignment:

1. Do Color Revolutions Produce Rotten Transitions?

This week saw us examining the phenomenon of "color revolutions" that characterize occasional social discontent in various countries that are strong on producing collective protest against a regime, but chronically weak and incapable of replacing the system of government. Whether it was the Rose Revolution of Georgia, the Orange Revolution of Ukraine, the Tulip Revolution of Kyrgyzstan, or a number of other like-titled revolutions in the Middle East, the number of states undergoing challenges to hybrid regime produce, in the words of Lucan Way, "rotten transitions" that do little more than replacing one group of kleptocrats in power with another group.

What do you think are the problems with these "revolutions"? Why do they tend to simply change leadership instead of changing the system of government and move the country in question towards greater degrees of democracy and good governance?
