  • In this article Vittorio Frosini discusses the problem of defining and classifying the coup d'état as a historical phenomenon, emphasizing the need to distinguish it from the Court or Palace coup, which is a readjustment of office holding within an existing system. He argues that the coup d'état is a dialectical process, arising where there exists within a state a tension between a ruling elite and a counter elite, which seeks to displace it, by force if necessary, and to introduce a radically different political order. The ideas are developed with reference to a series of twentieth-century examples.
