Internal Regime Change
Regime change can be precipitated by revolution or a coup d'état. The Russian Revolution, the 1962 Burmese coup and the 1990 collapse of communism in Eastern Europe are consummate examples.
Less violent examples of internally driven regime change are the establishment of the French Fifth Republic and the Federation of Australia.

Famous quotes containing the words internal, regime and/or change:
“When a person doesn’t understand something, he feels internal discord: however he doesn’t search for that discord in himself, as he should, but searches outside of himself. Thence a war develops with that which he doesn’t understand.”
—Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
“Bourgeois existence is the regime of private affairs ... and the family is the rotten, dismal edifice in whose closets and crannies the most ignominious instincts are deposited. Mundane life proclaims the total subjugation of eroticism to privacy.”
—Walter Benjamin (1892–1940)
“Revolutions demand enormous sacrifices and, at the same time, create a new need to change the world again.”
—Friedrich Dürrenmatt (1921–1990)
