Militarism is the elephant in the room of global warming. Of all
government sectors, 'Defence' has the highest carbon footprint and
expenditure, yet has largely been exempt from international
scrutiny and regulation. Marty Branagan uses Australian and
international case studies to show that nonviolence is a viable
alternative to militarism for national defence and regime change.
'Active resistance', initiated in Australian environmental
blockades and now adopted globally, makes the song 'We Shall Not Be
Moved' much more realistic, as activists erect tripod villages,
bury, chain and cement themselves into the ground, and 'lock-on' to
machinery and gates. Active resistance, 'artistic activism', and
use of new information and communication technologies in movements
such as the Arab Spring and 'Occupy' demonstrate that nonviolence
is an effective, evolving praxis.
