Recenzii
a
highly
informative
compilation
of
differing
quests
for
political,
economic,
and
social
change
over
the
past
half-century
...
The
great
value
of
Civil
Resistance
and
Power
Politics
is
to
provide
relatively
succinct
accounts
of
these
diverse
events
in
such
a
way
as
to
underline
both
their
differences
and
their
similarities.
Roberts and Garton Ash succeed in their task magnificently. Seldom has a collective work displayed such coordinated research; seldom has the selection of authors been so successful...; and seldom have the introductory and concluding essays in an edited work been so effective... indispensable book
This book is a timely reminder that realpolitik is by no means always the best way to consolidate power. And this may prompt a rethink as to the very nature of power itself.
a book full of thought-provoking stories and arresting statistics...a valuable contribution to our understanding of a phenomenon that history has too often ignored - and a political tactic that looks set to become even more potent in the years ahead.
