非武装の市民がさまざまな協調的な方法(ストライキ、抗議行動、デモ、ボイコット、ほかの多くの戦略)を用いて、相手を直接傷つけたり脅したりすることなく、紛争を解決する方法のことを「市民的抵抗」といいます。非暴力抵抗、非武装闘争、非暴力行動と呼ばれることもあり、この形態の政治行動は、今や世界中で主流となっています。それは戦後の反植民地運動、1989年の革命、中東諸国の民主化運動などにおいては中心的な抵抗の形であり、人々は世界中でこれまでにない高い割合で市民的抵抗を実践しています。世界中で起きているさまざまな抗議運動を理解しようとするならば、市民的抵抗とその多くのダイナミクスと発露について十分に理解する必要があります。
市民的抵抗とは何で、どのように機能、あるいは失敗するのか、暴力や抑圧がどのように影響するのか、またこうした抵抗がもたらす長期的な影響について解説しています。市民的抵抗の歴史的事例と、中東や米国で進行中の事例の両方を取り上げ、この非常に重要なテーマについて包括的かつ簡潔な概観を提供します。
Civil resistance is a method of conflict through which unarmed civilians use a variety of coordinated methods (strikes, protests, demonstrations, boycotts, and many other tactics) to prosecute a conflict without directly harming or threatening to harm an opponent. Sometimes called nonviolent resistance, unarmed struggle, or nonviolent action, this form of political action is now a mainstay across the globe. It was been a central form of resistance in the 1989 revolutions and in the Arab Spring, and it is now being practiced widely in Trump's America. If we are going to understand the manifold protest movements emerging around the globe, we need a thorough understanding of civil resistance and its many dynamics and manifestations.
In Civil Resistance: What Everyone Needs to Know®, Erica Chenoweth -- one of the world's leading scholars on the topic--explains what civil resistance is, how it works, why it sometimes fails, how violence and repression affect it, and the long-term impacts of such resistance. Featuring both historical cases of civil resistance and more contemporary examples such as the Arab Awakenings and various ongoing movements in the United States, this book provides a comprehensive yet pithy overview of this enormously important subject.
