The Robespierre Effect: Why Violent Regime Change Produces Worse Systems

The Robespierre Effect explores why revolutions and forced regime changes often lead to instability and greater violence, drawing on historical case studies and systems theory. By introducing a structural framework based on Balance, Reason, and Compassion, the book demonstrates how violent transitions disrupt these elements and increase the likelihood of long-term failure. It presents a mathematical model and a Regime Viability Index to evaluate political systems, offering insights into the factors that influence success and failure in political upheavals.
