On dozens of occasions in recent\u003cbr\u003e decades, even in the face of intimidated political leaders and international\u003cbr\u003e indifference, civil society has risen up to challenge putschists through\u003cbr\u003e large-scale nonviolent direct action and noncooperation. How can an\u003cbr\u003e unarmed citizenry mobilize so quickly and defeat a powerful military\u003cbr\u003e committed to seizing control of the government? What accounts for the\u003cbr\u003e success or failure of nonviolent resistance movements to reverse coups and\u003cbr\u003e consolidate democratic governance?\u003cbr\u003e This monograph presents in-depth case studies and analysis intended to\u003cbr\u003e improve our understanding of the strategic utility of civil resistance against\u003cbr\u003e military takeovers; the nature of civil resistance mobilization against coups; the\u003cbr\u003e role of civil resistance against coups in countries' subsequent democratization\u003cbr\u003e efforts (or failure thereof). It offers key lessons for pro-democracy activists\u003cbr\u003e and societies vulnerable to military usurpation of power; national civilian and\u003cbr\u003e military bureaucracies; external state and non-state agencies supportive of\u003cbr\u003e democracy; and future scholarship on this subject.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e International Center on Nonviolent Conflict\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/08\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781943271115\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 102\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.74lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.00h x 8.50w x 0.28d","brand":"Stephen Zunes","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36671826395292,"sku":"9781943271115","price":13.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_f292d870-44a5-4c3f-84ac-3a50e1457a8b.jpg?v=1603926329","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/civil-resistance-against-coups-a-comparative-and-historical-perspective-9781943271115","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
