From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Politics of Nonviolent Action is a three-volume political science book by Gene Sharp, originally published in the United States in 1973. Sharp is one of the most influential theoreticians of nonviolent action, and his publications have been influential in movements around the world. This book contains his foundational analyses of the nature of political power, and of the methods and dynamics of nonviolent action. It represents a "thorough revision and rewriting"[1]:āviā of the author's 1968 doctoral thesis at Oxford University.[2] The book has been reviewed in professional journals[3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12] and newspapers,[13] and is mentioned on many contemporary websites.[14][15] It has been fully translated into Italian and partially translated into several other languages.
