| Summary / Abstract (Note) | The sequenced, sustained application of nonviolent operations has engendered historical results: tyrants have capitulated, governments collapsed, occupying armies retreated and political systems that denied human rights been delegitimated and dismantled. Those threatened by such campaigns are prone to define a 'regime change' desired and driven by outside parties as the object and prize In fact, the object is transformation in the way people themselves can determine how they are governed. Individuals and institutions who care about democracy and freedom, peace and security need to work together to develop a set of modern norms for how citizens and civil societies may freely work together across national boundaries and permit universal access to knowledge and resources necessary to protect rights, especially when denied or threatened by oppressive rule |
