DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:<p>Confronting social and environmental injustice, civil resistance is an increasingly prominent feature of global politics. This discussion addresses common public misperceptions, including about the Middle East and the notion of &ldquo;nonviolence.&rdquo; What is civil resistance? Is it a weapon of the weak? Can it work against oppressive regimes? Must it be &ldquo;nonviolent&rdquo;?<br /><br />===================<br /><br />Michael J. Carpenter earned his PhD in Political Science from the University of Victoria in 2017. He studies and teaches civil resistance, with a focus on theory, the Middle East, and Palestinian popular struggle.
