A well-integrated mixture of theoretical analysis and case studies (from Asia, Africa, Europe, Latin America, and the Middle East), the book examines nonviolent direct action, political action, economic sanctions, and social movements as alternative remedies in the struggle for justice. The authors thus address the basic questions that underlie current debates in international politics over the use of preventive diplomacy, humanitarian intervention, and international enforcement action.
"Important contributions to the study of nonviolent action. They provide challenges to some of the conventional scholarly—as well as popular— thinking about the effectiveness of military and other violent means of coercion."—American Political Science Review
