Jack Goldstone's work is pretty good, with "Rebellions, a very short introduction" and "Revolution and Rebellion in the early modern world" being good shouts. The first one is a lot easier to get into and allows for a gentle introduction into a literature that is very heavy on the political and sociological theory. Theda Skocpol's "States and Social Revolutions" was for a while, the work on revolutionary theory although it's a bit dated and overtly structuralist if you ask me. A bloke called Brinton gave a quite nice overview of the 'big' ones in Anatomy of a Revolution, although it's a lot older so methods and ideas have left it somewhat in the dust. For a period that had a lot of them, Hobsbawm's 'Age of Revolutions' is quite good, focusing on the 19th centuries numerous uprisings. A lot of what you're asking is more to do with sociology, although obviously there's tonnes of stuff on specific revolutionary processes if you know what you want to look at.

Do you have access to things like JSTOR and other online journal repositories? That's where you'll find most of the good stuff.
