Nonviolent revolution succeeds but lacks prosocial models for post-despot governance

Evidence

Mass nonviolent resistance is an effective vehicle for large-scale sociopolitical change. Building a representative government in the aftermath is another matter. Dislodging despotic rulers liberates oppressed factions who vie for power in the governance vacuum. Initial euphoria usually gives rise to disillusionment over controversial changes and the slow pace of change. What is lacking are prosocial models on how to meld diverse self-interest into common cause for humane representative governance. — Albert Bandura, Moral Disengagement, 2144
