Power is the main reason to rule over the world. The concept of power transition is started when a country has risen in economic growth and gained military power and reaches the level of its challenger,and also had its place at the top of the international order and the hunger for power led the country to reach the maximum extent. This is due to the fact when a country gets power and establishes a great economic system, it wants to get in the top position in the international order and also save its interest in the world.The global international order has seen several power transitions from empire to empire, region to region,and then country to country. The study is a qualitative analysis of past events of power transition in the global world. It also focused on the causes and prospects of power transition in the past and the future,respectively.

“…12 Peter McPhee has argued that the French Revolution was a rare period when "ordinary people," such as peasants, labourers, craftsmen, trades people and even the indigent, expressed themselves directly to authorities through petitions, letters and legal actions as well as through riots and revolts. 13 I will use the terms "popular classes" or "popular actors" to describe these "ordinary people" of France both urban and rural. Although this categorization does conflate important divisions such as gender, age and region, it captures the essentially plebeian nature of the group of people that made up the majority of French citizens.…”

The Social History of Alcohol and Drugs

This article analyzes the debate surrounding indirect taxes on wine during the French Revolution. These taxes produced much revenue for the state, but were also the target of much popular fury. Once the Revolution began in July 1789 the places where they were collected became the focus of sustained attacks and social protest. The revolutionaries debated how to reform these taxes, but were finally pushed to abolish them by popular pressure in 1791. This process is analyzed and the complex nature of the revolutionary dynamic in which the state and popular classes interacted to shape the goals, direction and outcome(s) of the French Revolution is highlighted. By using the revolutionary rhetoric of liberty and equality, petitioners and key legislators called for the indirect taxes on wine to be abolished. By exploring the discourse around wine and taxes, it is apparent that issues of consumption, equity and the social role of alcohol played a part in the new government's formation of fiscal policy. It is also clear that moderately priced wine was a tangible outcome of the French Revolution and symbolic of its ideals.
