ABOUT<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

This call aims to provide an opportunity for original academic and policy research that will address Armenia\u2019s political transformation. In the Spring of 2018, the world watched as large-scale peaceful protests combined with acts of civil disobedience overthrew Armenia\u2019s autocratic regime in what came to be known as the Velvet Revolution. Free of influence from outside forces, this democratic transition has altered the regional fabric. Unlike previous movements in the post-Soviet space and the Middle East, it was not geopolitically polarizing. The movement was decentralized and disciplined, and nonviolent tactics were applied with consistency and determination. The Armenian transition, driven by non elites and built on decades of civic activism, unfolded through the country\u2019s institutions rather than against them. Following the formation of a new government, Armenia\u2019s institutions have begun the processes of reforms, moving from the streets to institution-building.<\/p>\n

The month-long transformation itself, as well as the period that followed, are of interest to those pursuing democratization and civic empowerment everywhere in the world.<\/p>\n

THE GENERAL OBJECTIVES OF THIS CALL ARE TO EXAMINE:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2022 The interests, institutions, socio-economic conditions, values, identities, and regional as well as global security conditions that shaped the context and primed the groundwork of the movement<\/p>\n

\u2022 The strategies and events that facilitated the Velvet Revolution<\/p>\n

\u2022 The challenges of democratic consolidation<\/p>\n
