Regime change refers to the process of overthrowing a government or political system and replacing it with a new one. This can occur through a variety of means, including popular uprisings, military coups, foreign intervention, or peaceful transitions of power. Research in the area of regime change aims to understand the causes and consequences of these political transitions, as well as the strategies and tactics used by different actors to bring about or resist such changes. Scholars in this field may study the role of ideology, institutions, economic conditions, and external influences in shaping regime change dynamics. Additionally, research on regime change often explores the impact of these transitions on governance, stability, human rights, and development outcomes. By analyzing historical and contemporary cases of regime change, researchers seek to identify patterns and trends that can inform policy decisions and contribute to a better understanding of political change processes around the world.
