In the spring of 1989 Chinese workers and students captured global attention as they occupied Tiananmen Square demanded political change and were tragically suppressed by the Chinese army Months later East German civilians rose up nonviolently brought down the Berlin Wall and dismantled their regime Although both movements used tactics of civil resistance their outcomes were different Why In Nonviolent Revolutions Sharon Erickson Nepstad examines these and other uprisings in Panama Chile Kenya and the Philippines Taking a comparative approach that includes both successful and failed cases of nonviolent resistance Nepstad analyzes the effects of movements strategies along with the counterstrategies regimes developed to retain power She shows that a significant influence on revolutionary outcomes is security force defections and explores the reasons why soldiers defect or remain loyal and the conditions that increase the likelihood of mutiny She then examines the impact of international sanctions finding that they can at times harm movements by generating new allies for authoritarian leaders or by shifting the locus of power from local civil resisters to international actors Nonviolent Revolutions offers essential insights into the challenges that civil resisters face and elucidates why some of these movements failed With a recent surge of popular uprisings across the Middle East this book provides a valuable new understanding of the dynamics and potency of civil resistance and nonviolent revolt

The processes of social change in the late colonial period and early years of the new Republic made a dramatic imprint on the character of American society These changes over a century or more were rooted in the origins of the United States its rapid expansion of people and territory its patterns of economic change and development and the conflicts that led to its cataclysmic division and reunification through the Civil War Christopher Clarks brilliant account of these changes in the social relationships of Americans breaks new ground in its emphasis on the connections between the crucial importance of free and unfree labor regional characteristics and the sustained tension between arguments for geographic expansion versus economic development Mr Clark traces the significance of families and households throughout the period showing how work and different kinds of labor produced a varied access to power and wealth among free and unfree male and female and how the character of social elites was confronted by democratic pressures He shows how the features of the different regions exercised longterm influences in American society and politics and were modified by pressures for change And he explains how the widening gap between the claims of free labor and those of slavery fueled the continuing dispute over the best economic course for the nations future and led ultimately to the Civil War Like other longrunning divisions in American society however this dispute was not fully resolved by the wars outcome Social Change in America is a compelling new overview of the social dynamics of Americas early years
