"Nonviolent Social Movements" is the first book to offer a truly
global overview of the dramatic growth of popular nonviolent
struggles in recent years. From the civil rights movement in the
United States, and the 'People Power' movement in the Philippines,
to the pro-democracy movements of Asia, Latin America, and Europe,
nonviolent action has emerged as a key element of political change
in recent decades.
Despite its widespread diffusion as a conscious movement around
the world, we still understand little about nonviolence as a
technique for social change. This volume seeks to provide an
understanding of the extent to which organized nonviolent action
can be used to replace violent struggle and the conditions under
which it can succeed. "Nonviolent Social Movements" brings together
case studies from around the world to demonstrate how nonviolent
action works and what possibilities and limitations it holds for
achieving social change and deterring aggressors.
