- A democratic revolution is a political science term denoting a revolution in which a democracy is instituted, replacing a previous non-democratic government, or in which revolutionary change is brought about through democratic means. According to Tocqueville, a democracy, as well as other forms of regimes, is a social condition. It holds a moral, philosophical, social and political orientation of a people. It is a way of behaving. This means that revolution in general shape behaviour. For democratic revolution, this behaviour gets more free and equal. Tocqueville's idea of a democratic revolution is that it is a steady advance of equality, which means that over time all people will be more equal. Democratic revolutions can be divided into different approaches.
* The first approach holds the development of liberation from the autocratic or dictatorial rule. The idea arises that power should be distributed more equally.
* The second approach can be found in the importance of market and the realization that emerged that state socialism was not the best way of ruling a state. This idea of a popular traditional revolution arises when people get enthusiastic about the abolition or fundamental transformation of Marxist-Leninist states
* The third approach derived from Western social scientists and is in relation to new ways of thinking about changes in the direction of the democracy. This can be seen as change where democracies need to be 'crafted' from above, by forming restrictions. This transformation paradigm holds the importance of strategic skills of elite actors. Mostly in combination with sheer luck, they find a way of manoeuvring under profound uncertainty. On the other hand, change can come from below, as seen in the third wave of democratization. This is what is called social forces. Mass mobilization is put together from below, mostly by the working class What makes democratic revolutions different from other forms of revolution is the lack of violence, in most cases. Democratic revolution is not harsh and does not make negative judgements on other cultures or regime types, yet it incorporates a clear notion of reform. Other societies are becoming better and better. Moreover, revolution is a notion implying sudden discontinuity and movement to a new regime. It is to be said that whenever there is no new regime, a revolution has failed. Democratic revolution, in contrast, does not necessarily imply how long the process will take. Formlessness is an intrinsic problem of democratic revolutions. When transitions can be (mis)interpreted as a long process, it becomes difficult to recede landmarks of failure or success into the flux of political and economic events. It is hard to know when a party is winning because there are no particular great victories or defeats that serve as milestones. An example lies in the democratic revolution of Brazil: “the genius of the Brazilian transformation is that it is virtually impossible to say at what point Brazil stopped being a dictatorship and became a democracy”.

- 民主革命是一个政治学术语，表示推翻一个非民主的政权，建立民主制度的革命运动。在中国近现代史与政治史上，民主革命是资产阶级民主革命的简称，是指反对封建地主阶级统治和封建专制制度并建立资产阶级民主制度的革命。有资产阶级领导的与无产阶级领导的两种民主革命。資產階級領導的民主革命，即資產階級革命，以反對封建制度為主要內容。 列宁在俄国1905年革命时期提出“民主革命向社会主义革命的过渡”：“我们将立刻由民主革命开始向社会主义革命过渡，并且恰恰是按照我们的力量，按照有觉悟有组织的无产阶级的力量，开始向社会主义革命过渡。” (zh)
