Civil Resistance from Gandhi to Present Time (webinar)

Lecturer and Faculty Member, Syracuse University, Strasbourg, France

This Webinar presents a short history of what civil resistance have achieved the last 90 years. This is the history of societal conflicts handled with peaceful means. How can unarmed movements succeed against states with their police and armies? What are the building blocks of a successful nonviolent strategy?

It includes a discussion on the recent development in Northern Africa and Middle East. What can be expected in the time to come and what are the main obstacles when a movement moves from 'opposition' to 'position?'
