This timely and lucid analysis of the significance of nonviolence is innovative in what it adds to political theory. It is also significant for what it adds to understanding the power of nonviolence to direct the processes of social and political change currently sweeping the globe.

Synopsis
Develops a coherent theory of nonviolent political action in the context of Western political theory. From Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King to toppled communist regimes in Eastern Europe and pro-democracy movements in Serbia, Georgia and Ukraine, nonviolent action has played a significant role in achieving social and political change in the last century. The Arab Spring revolutions, particularly those in Tunisia and Egypt, and the Occupy movement in the US and UK demonstrate that nonviolence continues to be a vital feature of many campaigns for democracy, human rights and social justice. Ian Atack identifies the contribution of nonviolence to political theory through connecting central characteristics of nonviolent action to fundamental debates about the role of power and violence in politics. This in turn provides a platform for going beyond historical and strategic accounts of nonviolence to a deeper understanding of its transformative potential. Key Features: Explores the philosophical presuppositions behind nonviolent political action Examines the tensions between nonviolence and pacifism in international politics Uses Gramsci and Foucault to critically analyse consent as the basis of political power Distinguishes between civil resistance and transformative nonviolence, By scrutinising the philosophical and theoretical assumptions of proponents of nonviolent political action, for example the role of the state, the rule of law and the nature of social and political power, Ian Atack establishes nonviolence as a credible theme within Western political thought., Develops a coherent theory of nonviolent political action in the context of Western political theory.
