Abstract

This article offers a reflection on the specialized literature on the Color Revolutions. On the one hand, it points out the successes within the academic treatment of the dynamic that occurred in the Eurasian region between 2000-2006. On the other hand, it offers an option to the challenges faced when studying this issue by including social movements within its spectrum of analysis. It begins by describing the reasons why the Color Revolutions cannot be considered revolutions in the classic sense of the term given, principally, their non-violent nature and the restricted nature of their results. Later, the article advances towards the construction of an integrated definition of a Color Revolution and finally, concludes highlighting the value of including other types of collective actors within the analysis, including social movements.
