Revolutions, coups d’etats and other acts of political violence or non-compliance have been historically used to destabilize governments in order to obtain certain goals. Revolutions seek to radically change the political landscape, while coups d’etats target a specific leader and seek to depose them from power. Both serve as threats to established authority and can produce unpredictable results. These tactics tend be successful because they involve forceful actions that break up the status quo leading people towards more uncertainty, doubt and eventual mobilization against existing government authorities and structures.
