New Handbook Article: Nonviolent Resistance and Conflict Transformation in Power Asymmetries
Berghof’s own Veronique Dudouet offers an exciting new contribution to the Handbook’s Section III: Her article Nonviolent Resistance and Conflict Transformation in Power Asymmetries explores the contexts and conditions in which nonviolent resistance can contribute to successful and sustainable conflict transformation processes. She introduces the concept, aims and methods of nonviolent action and explores conceptual and empirical developments across the 20th and 21st centuries. Furthermore, she illustrates the potential and limits of nonviolent resistance in transforming asymmetric power structures and in encouraging democratic practices, using the example of the Palestinian first intifada in the Israeli/Palestinian struggle.
