A New Age of Nonviolence - The Power of Civil Society Over War (Paperback)

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.
