Les analyses de Tocqueville des mouvements sociaux apparaissent comme des cas limites ou les chances structurelles (la vulnerabilite de l'Etat a la pression politique populaire) coincide avec les chances percues (le fait que le public soit au courant des possibilites de succes dans le cadre de son activite de protestation). L'A. estime toutefois que cette coincidence n'apparait pas toujours. Il met en avant une disjonction de ce type en ce qui concerne la revolution iranienne entre 1977 et 1979. Sur certains plans la monarchie n'etait pas, en soi, vulnerable sur le plan structurel. Les iraniens ont percu, en revanche, une possibilite de succes en observant un changement dans la nature du mouvement de protestation
