Nonviolent Resistances in the Contemporary World: Case Studies from India, Poland, and Turkey Roy Nalanda

This volume studies nonviolent movements as instruments of change in contemporary global politics. It examines how popular resistance movements have been received by the media, subverted governments across the world, and how they have contributed to the development of new "protest paradigms." The volume brings together leading experts who explore the significant wave of nonviolent mass movements in contemporary global affairs to understand how these discourses can be leveraged to study peace and conflict today. It presents case studies of civilian-led nonviolent efforts in India, Poland, and Turkey and analyzes how they have enabled people's voices, influenced popular resistance cultures, and pushed for change across the world.The book discusses complex sociopolitical scenarios that challenge democracy, patriotism, and the question of identity across the world.
