Abstract
It is very important to explain the revolutionary theory of Crane Brinton with the revolutions of non-European societies, especially the Islamic world. Therefore, in order to test Brinton's theory, we have investigated the two revolutions of Libya and Yemen, to what extent are they compatible with this revolutionary theory? (Goal); The research method of this article, according to its sociological approach, is descriptive-analytical and comparative-data type, in the structural framework of Brinton's theory (research method); The obtained results indicate that Libya went through all the stages before the revolution based on economic growth, class conflicts, change of intellectuals, etc., but Yemen did not experience the stage of economic growth. In addition, Brinton does not mention the influence of external forces; While the Libyan revolutionaries won because of foreign aid, and Saleh in Yemen was forced to resign due to international pressure. Also, in the second stage of the theory, which is the theoretical framework of the revolution; Among the four stages of moderates, extremists, the era of terror and Thermidor, Libya and Yemen did not experience the next stages of the revolution due to the war and internal chaos in the moderates stage. Therefore, Brinton's theory of revolution is not completely compatible with other societies, especially Islamic ones (findings).
