| 摘要、提要註: |
The Middle East, a region infamous for political violence and a democratic deficit, boasts a rich but little-known history of nonviolent civilian-led struggles for rights and freedoms. OrdinaryEgyptians, Palestinians, Turks, Israelis, Iranians, Kuwaitis and other Middle Easterners have, overthe past century, used "weapons" including boycotts, strikes, demonstrations, sit-ins, and other methods of civil disobedience and noncooperation to courageously challenge entrenched power and to advance democratic self-rule. This book challenges the oft-heard claim thatnonviolent resistance "can'twork" in the Middle East by chronicling some of the most significant nonviolent campaigns against colonialism, foreign occupation, authoritarianism, and structural injustice in the region. Other chapters examine the role of strategy, political humor, religion, Islamist movements, and external actors in advancing and impeding democratization and good governance. This volume, which includes scholarly and activist perspectives, will be of particular interest to academics, policymakers, journalists, and local civic leaders interested inthe Middle East, nonviolent action, social movements, democratization,and war and peace studies - as well as educated general readers interested in understandingpresent convulsions in the Middle East. |
