PROGRESS AND THE TRANSFORMATION OF EUROPEAN POLITICS

Schroeder mentions progress, in connection with certain events and tendencies. He talks about real and useful political and social change. I think I know what he means, but....
 
He entitles Ch 15 Revolutions, Progress, and Standstill, 1830 - 1833.
 
What is real and useful political and social change?
 
What is its direction, features, nature, scope, direction, pitfalls, failures, delusions?
 
These are questions unanswered there.
 
Could one have say bad progress, or good standstill?
 
Is there some intermediate thing, not yet progress, but not quite standstill, toward which one should incline sometimes?

Is Schroeder's concept of progress merely Butterfield's Whig liberalism dolled up?

Where is Schroeder's progress going? Where did it allegedly come from? Why?
