This issue of the CAD focuses on the domestic dimension of the 2018 Armenian revolution. More specifically, Mikayel Zolyan first explains what made the Armenian revolution possible, arguing that a key factor was how the political regime gravitated towards authoritarian rule in a way that deprived it of the flexibility necessary for survival. Anahit Shirinyan then looks at how the revolution exposed the extent to which Armenia’s political parties had lost touch with the public and explores the country’s new political party system.
