Reviews

""Civil Resistance and Conflict Transformation is clearly groundbreaking and I am convinced that a new sub-field of civil resistance has been shaped."" -- Stellan Vinthagen, Editor of Journal of Resistance Studies

"""Civil Resistance and Conflict Transformation is clearly groundbreaking and I am convinced that a new sub-field of civil resistance has been shaped."" -- Stellan Vinthagen, Editor of Journal of Resistance Studies ""If you are academically inclined, you should immediately consult a new book edited by Véronique Dudouet titled Civil Resistance and Conflict Transformation (Routledge, 2015). The term ‘civil resistance’ means nonviolent action and ‘conflict transformation’ means changing the nature of the conflict from one form to another. The subtitle is more revealing: Transitions from armed to nonviolent struggle.... For now, Civil Resistance and Conflict Transformation is the essential source. It shows that transforming conflicts towards nonviolent struggles is usually a complex and challenging process. Most importantly, it is possible."" -- Brian Martin, University of Wollongong, Australia"

Civil Resistance and Conflict Transformation is clearly groundbreaking and I am convinced that a new sub-field of civil resistance has been shaped. -- Stellan Vinthagen, Editor of Journal of Resistance Studies
