Our systematic review is divided into two parts. In this second and final part, the following areas of research explored by fifth-generation scholars will be specifically considered: (1) impact of repression on the course of revolutions; (2) causes and factors that contribute to the success of revolutions; and (3) the outcomes of revolutionary uprisings. This article also presents the authors’ vision of the tasks ahead for the fifth generation of revolution studies.
