More About This Book

Overview

The fall of the Berlin Wall. The end of apartheid in South Africa. The US civil rights movement that inspired a young Barack Obama. The toppling of Augusto Pinochet in Chile and of Slobodan Milošević in Serbia. 'People power' in the Philippines and 'Orange Revolution' in Ukraine.

What all these dramatic and disparate disparate historical development have in common is the often decisive presence of civil resistance. This pathbreaking volume describes and analyses most of the major cases of the use of civil resistance across nearly a hundred years, from Gandhi's salt march in 1930 to Buddhist monks marching through the streets of Rangoon in 2007. Written by leading specialists, and illustrated throughout with historic photographs, it asks why some attempts at mass non-violent action succeeded in attaining their objectives while others failed. And it explores, rigorously and comparatively, the complex relationships between civil resistance and other factors of power, including war, economic failure, and external intervention.

Civil Resistance and Power Politics is essential reading for anyone interested in this momentous and under-studied phenomenon of our time.
