Interview with Erica Chenoweth and Maria J. Stephan on their current research on the power and superior efficiency of nonviolent protest: http://t.co/22HvAoc5
Some short snippets from the interview:
“nonviolent resistance campaigns were twice as likely to achieve success compared to their violent counterparts”
“particularly against dictatorships, that nonviolent resistance is overwhelmingly more effective than armed struggle”
“the effectiveness of nonviolent resistance is actually increasing over time (…) people are learning, not only that it works but how it works”
