Talk:Regime change

message: To contribute to this article I will discuss international explanations for democratization. I will expand on the foreign imposed regime change section of the article but explaining how the use of sanctions and force can result in regime change . I will also explain Gunitsky’s typology on diffusion. I will also including a section on autocritization, focusing on the work of Bermeo. Carter925 (talk) 11:29, 9 April 2020 (UTC)

message: I don't understand why this article is focussed on regime change via external forces.  A coup is regime change, by definition!  (Google "regime change" coup.  While many of the hits are about externally-driven revolution, many correctly use the term regime change to refer to the changing of a regime by internal means.)
I intend to put some factual structure into this article!  Starting... real soon now.
Don't be put off by misunderstanding what the US government's been on about throughout the noughties.  They have actually been using the term correctly ("our desired outcome is regime change in Iraq...") despite what whoever wrote this article seems to think.

thread_title:  A coup <em>is</em> regime change 

message: The second sentence of the article claims that "use of the term [regime change] dates to at least 1925."  The citation is merely a link to the Oxford English Dictionary website, not to a specific article.  Access to the definition is restricted to subscribers.  Perhaps this is new, but it renders the citation useless for most readers.
Can someone provide a better citation?  If not, i fear that we should remove the claim.  That would be a shame, as it's interesting, but it should be verifiable.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mgllama (talk • contribs) 21:03, 12 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I have replaced the reference with a pointer to the Los Angeles Times article which the OED cites. I cannot find that LA Times archives are available on-line, however.--Keith Edkins ( Talk ) 22:38, 14 October 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Need better citation on use of term since 1925 

message: I'm familiar with the term "regime change" as any change that would change the environment of a studied phenomenon without direct effect on the phenomenom itself.  For example in medical usage (IRC) a regime change might change the balance of drugs a patient is on in an attempt to improve poor response.
It seems to me that the intro to the article is essentially US-centric and it is taking a phrase in regular use in British English and mis-specialising it for American.  (I'm a native English speaker, being English.)  Comments?  (BTW I don't read my talk page, email jbowler@acm.org.)

thread_title: Popular use

message: I plan to expand and improve the subheading "Internal regime change". I intend to do this by looking at multiple forms of internal regime change, making a distinction between change led by the elite or by the masses, and violent or non-violent. Additionally, I will elaborate on these different forms by providing examples (or matching the existing examples) and look at the outcomes of internal regime change. To improve the overall quality of the article, I will add references to reliable sources. Tips are always welcome! Nsanorbart (talk) 13:40, 7 April 2020 (UTC)

thread_title:  five reasons government change 

message: Article begins by defining regime chanfe as 'forcible or coercive' but then includes many references to states meddling in overseas elections. How is this 'forcible or coercive'? Crawiki (talk) 17:38, 1 November 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  'Forcible or coercive?' 

message: State reconstruction is partly forcible (defeated troops/insurgents must be disarmed and demobilised) and partly not(creation of new judiciary, police, civil service, executive etc), and very obviously, elections cannot be 'forcible' or theyre invalid. So is state reconstruction a separate topic requiring a separate article? Crawiki (talk) 12:43, 18 November 2022 (UTC)
