Message path : / Society / American labor / No Kings #5


Selected path :
Erica Chenoweth and Maria Stephan compiled and analyzed data on 323 major resistance campaigns between 1900 and 2006, and published a book in 2011 'Why Civil Resistance Works' The Strategic Logic of Nonviolent Conflict.
  • Non-violent movements succeeded about 53% of the time, while violent ones succeeded only about 26% of the time.
  • Participation size was a decisive factors in success. Non-violent movements attracted far broader participation that cut across social and economic lines.
  • When at least 3.5% of the population engaged in sustained, active participation and not just sympathy or one-day marches, the movement always succeeded.
