Abstract

Objective: Each of the owners of theories of revolution seeks to research and understand the causes and contexts of the revolution in different countries. One of the revolutionary theories that developed in the twentieth century was Chalmers Johnson's theory of revolutionary evolution. The purpose of this article is to apply Johnson's theory of the 2011 revolution in Tunisia. So the main question of this article is to what extent is Chalmers Johnson's theory capable of tracing the roots and explaining the causes of the revolution in question?
Method: The present article uses the descriptive-analytical method and in the framework of Chalmers Johnson's theory of revolutionary evolution, seeks to apply and test this theory with revolutionary developments in the mentioned country.
Results: According to studies of the three main factors of the revolution from Johnson's perspective, namely imbalance, elite inflexibility and accelerating factors, only the first and third factors (imbalance, accelerating factors) are adaptable with the cause of the revolution in Tunisia, but the inflexibility factor of the elites is not adaptable to any of the causes of the revolution in the mentioned country.
Conclusion: Johnson's theory of revolutionary transformation does not have the full and comprehensive applicability to explain the revolution in Tunisia.
