From Armed Struggle to Civil Resistance: Grass-Roots Conflict Transformation: A Review of Civil Resistance and Conflict Transformation: Transitions From Armed to Nonviolent Struggle

摘要

Around the late 1970s, as the Soviet Union's backing of the African National Congress' armed wing started to wane, a group of its leaders journeyed to Vietnam seeking advice about guerilla combat from veterans of the wars with the United States and France. Instead, they were told to drop armed action and adopt political organizing. These and other fascinating tidbits enliven Civil Resistance and Conflict Transformation, the pioneering contribution edited by Veronique Dudouet, a senior researcher and program director at the Berghof Foundation.
