The course deepens your understanding of the causes, dynamics, strategies, tactics, and outcomes of civil resistance / nonviolent conflicts. The focus is on large-scale campaigns against governments, for goals such as regime change, territorial change, or end of foreign occupation. The course provides an advanced introduction to the key questions and concepts in the study of strategic nonviolent conflict, including an overview of the empirically based research on this phenomenon. The students are introduced to the process of nonviolent conflicts from mobilisation to different types of outcomes.
