"Dowr Al-Quwwa Fi Al-Kifah Al-La Onf," [The role of power in nonviolent struggle] in Saad Eddin Ibrahim, ed., Al-Muqawama Al Hadanieh Fi Al-Nidal Al-Siyyas. [Civilian resistance in political struggle.] Amman: Arab Thought Forum, pp. 9-26.
"Nonviolent action . . . is capable of wielding great power even against ruthless rulers and military regimes," writes Sharp, "because it attacks the most vulnerable characteristic of all hierarchical institutions and governments: dependence on the governed." Abstracted from Sharp's classic three-volume work, The Politics of Nonviolent Action, this monograph summarizes the core concepts behind the technique of nonviolent struggle.
