Whereas revolution has been a characteristic phenomenon of Third World societies in this century, in the industrial societies it has been conspicuous chiefly by its absence. The reasons for this have to do with the changed conditions and different historical context of action which confront any attempt at revolution in presentday industrial societies, making a recurrence of revolution on the classic European pattern of the past two centuries highly unlikely. On the other hand the 'May events' of 1968 in France suggest the possibility of a new concept and a new practice of revolution more suited to the evolving needs and pressures of the advanced industrial societies
