Resource of the Week

Resource of the Week

Each week, ICNC features a publication, news article, video, blog post or study from our comprehensive Resource Library. Access and downloads are free. In addition, we also feature a translation of that resource. This week’s resource is Swarthmore College’s Global Nonviolent Action Database.

The Global Nonviolent Action Database is a database of over 1000 summaries of nonviolent campaigns worldwide.

These summaries are researched and presented to:

1. provide free access to information about hundreds of cases of nonviolent action for learning and for citizen action. We research campaigns that have reached a point of completion. The cases are drawn from all continents and most countries. People are shown struggling for human rights, economic justice, democracy, national and ethnic identity, environmental sustainability, and peace.

2. make available comparative information that will support researchers and writers to develop strategic knowledge and theory. Each case is presented in two formats: the database file (with searchable fields) and the narrative describing the struggle as an unfolding story. The database supports searches by country, by issue, by action method used, and even by year — there is a case from ancient Egypt, 12th century BCE! Some cases are part of a “wave” of campaigns, such as the “Arab Awakening” of 2011; by pressing each “wave” button one can find cases.
