Denchev S., Pavlova M. “Color revolutions”- who mixes the paint and who are the painters?

Abstract: The article examines the nature of the "Color revolutions" which mark the modern development vector of contemporary international relations since the beginning of 21st century. The text describes the technology of conducting socio-political change in many countries which were targetted by "colour revolutions". Attention is paid to external driving powers that dictate what happens in the world regions affected by these revolutions (North Africa, Near East, South-Eastern Europe, and the Post-Soviet space).The methodological basis of the research is a systemic, structural and functional, comparative political approaches, methods of analysis, synthesis, induction, deduction, observation. In light of globalization, the world never became more predictable or stable. Instead, increasing chaos and multiplying international and domestic conflicts became evident. Colour revolutions are one such catalyst for this chaos. Their emergenve on world's political arena leads to the loss of sovereignty of modern countries, civil wars and armed comflicts.
