Entries discuss everything from militarization to censorship, guerrilla theater, pacifism, secret agents, and protest songs. In addition, the dictionary features a foreword by Sir Adam Roberts, President of the British Academy; an introduction by Gene Sharp; an essay on power and realism; case studies of conflicts in Serbia and Tunisia; and a guide for further reading. \u003cem\u003eSharp's Dictionary of Power and Struggle\u003c\/em\u003e is an invaluable resource for activists, educators and anyone else curious about nonviolent alternatives to both passivity and violent conflict. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"Gene Sharp is perhaps the most influential proponent of nonviolent action alive.\"--\u003cem\u003eThe Progressive\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"Sharp has had broad influence on international events over the past two decades, helping to advance a global democratic awakening.\"--\u003cem\u003eThe Wall Street Journal\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"[Sharp's] work has served as the template for taking on authoritarian regimes from Burma to Belgrade.\"--\u003cem\u003eThe Christian Science Monitor\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gene Sharp\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0199829888\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780199829880\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 368\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 1.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2011 pg. 158\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2011 pg. 36\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2012","brand":"Gene Sharp","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43992892014847,"sku":"9780199829880","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_556e79a8-6ea3-4216-b465-9f5a74cb724b.jpg?v=1683321384","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/sharps-dictionary-of-power-and-gene-sharp-9780199829880","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
