In Nonviolent Revolutions, Sharon Erickson Nepstad examines civilian uprisings in Panama, Chile, Kenya, the Philippines, and other countries. Taking a comparative approach that includes both successful and failed cases of nonviolent resistance, Nepstad analyzes the effects of movements’ strategies along with the counter-strategies regimes developed to retain power. The book offers essential insights into the challenges that civil resisters face and elucidates why some of these movements failed.
