englischAward-winning book now in German translation for the first time (winner of the 2013 Grawemeyer Award, winner of the 2012 Woodrow Wilson Foundation Award from the American Political Science Association, 2011 Guardian Book of the Year).

Campaigns of non-violent resistance were more than twice as successful as their violent counterparts between 1900 and 2006.

The authors combine statistical analyses with case studies from these countries and regions and show in detail the factors that make such campaigns successful - and sometimes cause them to fail. The book systematically compares violent and non-violent developments in different historical periods and geographical contexts and debunks the myth that violence is caused by structural and environmental factors and is necessary to achieve certain political goals. Instead, Chenoweth and Stephan find that violent uprisings can rarely be justified on strategic grounds and that successful nonviolent resistance movements lead to more durable and peaceful democracies that are less likely to relapse into civil war.
