Abstract:
|
Surprisingly, many of the factors associated with the rise of suicide terrorism and other forms of violent agitation for change are also associated with the rise of non-violent movements for social change or ethno-national identity recognition. This paper uses a case study methodology to examine both violent and non-violent movements in order to better understand why some movements accomplish social and political change through non-violence while others turn violent. Understanding these factors is an important step toward encouraging change through peaceful versus violent means. Cases examined include: The Solidarity movement in Poland, the Independence Movement in India, the Tiananmen Square Uprising, The U.S. Civil Rights Movement, the Basque Separatists in Spain, Chechnya, Sri Lanka, the Palestinian-Israeli Conflict, among others. |
