Pinpoints reasons for successes and failures of nonviolent protest movementsIn the last two decades of the twentieth century, a wave of people power movements erupted throughout the nondemocratic world. In South Africa, the Philippines, Nepal, Thailand, Burma (Myanmar), China, and elsewhere, mass protest demonstrations, strikes, boycotts, civil disobedience, and other nonviolent actions were brought to bear on a rigid political status quo.Kurt Schock compares the successes of the antiapartheid movement in South Africa, the people power movement in the Philippines, the prodemocracy movement in Nepal, and the antimilitary movement in Thailand with the failures of the prodemocracy movement in China and the antiregime challenge in Burma. Schock develops a synthetic framework that allows him to identify which characteristics increase the resilience of a challenge to state repression, and which aspects of a states relations can be exploited by such a challenge.By looking at how these methods of protest promoted regime change in some countries but not in others, this book provides rare insight into the often overlooked and little understood power of nonviolent action.
