A sweeping overview of civil resistance movements around the world
that explains what they are, how they work, why they are often
effective, and why they can fail. Civil resistance is a method of
conflict for which unarmed civilians use a variety of coordinated
methods (strikes, protests, demonstrations, boycotts, and many
other tactics) to prosecute a conflict without directly harming or
threatening to harm an opponent. Sometimes called nonviolent
resistance, unarmed struggle, or nonviolent action, this form of
political action is now a mainstay across the globe. Without a
thorough understanding of civil resistance and its many dynamics
and manifestations, one would be hard-pressed to make sense of the
world that we live in today. Civil resistance is an idea whose time
has come. Civil Resistance: What Everyone Needs to Know (R)
explains what civil resistance is, how it works, why it sometimes
fails, how violence and repression affect civil resistance
movements, and the long-term impacts of civil resistance. Featuring
both historical cases of civil resistance and more contemporary
examples such as the Arab Awakenings and various ongoing movements
in the United States, this book provides a comprehensive and
engaging review of the current field of knowledge.
