Erica Chenoweth

And so that's what led to our 2011 book, which is called Why Civil Resistance Works.

And in that book, we start with the descriptive observation that the nonviolent mass campaigns that we studied from 1900 to 2006

had a higher success rate than the violent campaigns that we studied.

And we set about trying to understand why that was the case.

And so the book sort of has two parts.

The front is trying to understand the strategic advantages of nonviolent resistance.

And the second half of the book is trying to explain why some movements succeed while others fail.

And there's been then a very large literature that's emerged on this topic, which is, you know,

both been critical and reinforcing of the findings, depending on what they are.

And as I mentioned, I think there's this sort of consensus now, 16 or so years later, about the things that make movements more likely to succeed.

And so that's the four things I mentioned.

Thanks to you.
