Abstract

Soft overthrow is a concept that obtained an important place in international relations literature, especially in the past few years. Unrests in some Eurasian and Caucasus countries and the type and style of developments and regime changes in recent decades have shown softer forms of influence in changing the state structures in the target countries. A new theory of "soft power” was introduced in late 20^th century, to make changes in political systems nonaligned with the Western powers national interests lately known as color, velvet or flowery revolutions.
            Studying different types of flowery revolutions occurred in Eurasia and Caucasia implies that these revolutions formally took place due to the increasingly public demands for political and citizenry laws, which in their turns required ethnographically considering the social phenomena. Based on historical documents and explanatory method, the article tries to study the new phenomenon of flowery revolutions and their ethnographies in model countries aligned with that of the strategic objectives of great powers.
