Revolutions and the Modern State

Synopsis: Eric Hobsbawm, Emeritus Professor of History at Birkbeck College, London, and Michael Mann, Professor of Sociology at the London School of Economics, discuss key features of modern states by looking more closely at their early development. They pay particular attention to three key historical periods - the French Revolution, 19th-century Britain and the Russian Revolution - and their influence on the formation of modern states.

At present the Open University Students Association (OUSA) will continue to sell the "Good Study Guide", and we are in discussion with other possible distributors to continue to make The Open University’s products available for purchase. As soon as we have any information on other channels of distribution we will update this notice’. Some products are still available via second hand dealers on Amazon.co.uk
