This volume brings together academics from various disciplinary traditions and offers a wide range of case studies - including South Africa, Palestine and Egypt - through which to view the changes from violence to nonviolence within self-determination, revolutionary or pro-democracy struggles.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhile current historiography focuses on armed conflicts and their termination through military means or negotiated settlements, this book is a first attempt to investigate the nature and the drivers of transitions from armed strategies to unarmed methods of contentious collective action on the part of non-state conflict actors. The text concentrates in particular on the internal and relational factors which underpin the decision-making process, from a change of leadership and a pragmatic re-evaluation of the goals and means of insurgency in the light of evolving inter-party power dynamics, to the search for new local or international allies and the cross-border emulation or diffusion of new repertoires of action. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book will be of interest to students of security studies, peace and conflict studies, political sociology and IR in general.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e V駻onique Dudouet\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1138120146\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781138120143\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/04\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 262\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.82lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.55d","brand":"V駻onique Dudouet","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44201787261183,"sku":"9781138120143","price":54.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e4cbaa0d-13bf-4405-994f-60122832da94.jpg?v=1691491404","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/civil-resistance-and-conflict-transformation-vronique-dudouet-9781138120143","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
