This book examines transnational civil society-based
democracy-promoting resistance activities in Asia in a global era,
focusing on the cases of Myanmar and Palestine. The work
contributes to our understanding of the nexus between
globalization, power and democracy by examining: (i) the ways in
which globalization/global governance are influencing various
resistance practices of the civil societies in Myanmar and
Palestine, and what this means for local democracy promotion; and
(ii) the ways in which these two civil societies influence and have
a democracy-promoting impact on their respective communities. It is
guided by the overarching question of how civil society-based
resistance contributes to local democracy in Myanmar and Palestine.
The book is structured as follows: both civil resistance cases
begin with an overview of each country’s non-violent resistance
history, and the findings are then presented for the two cases,
i.e., the pro-democracy movements in the Saffron uprising in
Myanmar and the Bil’in village struggle against the Israeli
Security Barrier plans to build through their farmlands. Then
follows a presentation of the life-story interview made with two
members from the respective campaigns. A concluding chapter
proposes some new theoretical insights for how civil resistance can
impact on democracy. The book empirically and theoretically
contributes to our understanding of how civil society-based
resistance and democracy interrelate in a global era. This book
will be of much interest to students of civil resistance,
democracy, Asian studies, Middle Eastern studies and international
relations in general.
