The book shows that civil disobedience is generally more defensible than private conscientious objection. Part I explores the morality of conviction and conscience. Each of these concepts informs a distinct argument for civil disobedience. The conviction argument begins with the communicative principle of conscientiousness (CPC). According to the CPC, having a conscientious moral conviction means not just acting consistently with our beliefs and judging ourselves and others by a common moral standard. It also means not seeking to evade the consequences of our beliefs and being willing tocommun

Common to the articles in this volume is the question of the extent to which social status and participation in a revolt are related. Do revolts take different forms when different social classes are involved? The social status is twofold, when looking at the insurgents as a whole and their leaders. The articles also take a look at whether revolts could lead to the formation of new elites and whether the uprisings enable lasting social advancement. The wide time frame also enables diachronic comparisons. With contributions by: Olivia Carpi, Vincent Challet, Jean-Claude Cheynet, Philippe Depreux, Kai-Henrik Günther, Uwe Israel, François Martin, Steffen Patzold, Jörg Peltzer, Bruno Pottier, Marianne Sághy, Alain Saint-Denis, Werner Troßbach, Hanna Vollrath, Claudia Zey.

This widely-praised book identified peaceful struggle as a key phenomenon in international politics a year before the revolutions in Tunisia and Egypt confirmed its central argument. Civil resistance - non-violent action against such challenges as dictatorial rule, racial discrimination and foreign military occupation - is a significant but inadequately understood feature of world politics. Especially through the peaceful revolutions of 1989, and the developments in the Arab worldsince December 2010, it has helped to shape the world we live in.Civil Resistance and Power Politics covers most of

Resistance has become an important and controversial analytical category for the study of Stalinism. The opening of Soviet archives allows historians an unprecedented look at the fabric of state and society in the 1930s. Researchers long spellbound by myths of Russian fatalism and submission as well as by the very real powers of the Stalinist state are startled by the dimensions of popular resistance under Stalin.Narratives of such resistance are inherently interesting, yet the topic is also significant because it sheds light on its historical surroundings. Contending with Stalinism employs the idea of resistance as a tool to explore what otherwise would remain opaque features of the social, cultural, and political history of the 1930s. In the process, the authors reveal a semi-autonomous world residing within and beyond the official world of Stalinism. Resistance ranged across a spectrum from violent strikes to the passive resistance that was a virtual way of life for millions and took many forms, from foot dragging and negligence to feigned ignorance and false compliance. Contending with Stalinism also highlights the problematic nature of resistance as an analytical category and stresses the ambiguous nature of the phenomenon. The topics addressed include working-class strikes, peasant rebellions, black-market crimes, official corruption, and homosexual and ethnic subcultures.
