A New Age of Nonviolence is the first exploration of nonviolent
strategies and tactics that have been used to prevent and end civil
wars, invasions, and occupations. Keeping with the theoretical core
objective of the field of Peace and Conflict Studies, the problem
of war is examined with the goal to transform destructive conflict
to constructive conflict. Research into alternatives has produced a
growing corpus of knowledge that can enable civil society to
increasingly expect success when it engages decision-makers in
these controversies. This book asks the reader to consider the
questions of social conflict using a cost-benefit analysis that
reveals the advisability of strategic nonviolence. Causes and
correlates to war research is robust and examined as a series of
common set of motivators to conflict, and when that research is
filtered against the results of research into comparisons of
conflict management methods, conclusions about potential strategies
for ending war emerge and indeed are examined both in aggregate and
in select case studies that show growing success.
