Od Diktature Do Demokratije (translation of From Dictatorship to Democracy: A conceptual framework for liberation) 84 pp. Novi Sad, Yugoslavia: Civic Initiatives



Originally published in 1993 in Thailand for distribution among Burmese dissidents, From Dictatorship to Democracy has since spread to several parts of the world. It is a serious introduction to the use of nonviolent action to topple dictatorships.

Miljenko Dereta, Executive Director of Civic Initiatives (an organization working in Serbia), decided to publish a Serbian edition of this booklet after coming across a photocopy of the English version. NATO bombing threats in 1998 and 1999 halted democratization activities, including production of the book. A few days after the bombing ceased, Civic Initiatives returned to their printer and arranged for 5,500 copies of the Serbian od Diktature do Demokratije. All copies were distributed free of charge, and eventually, this publication made its way into the hands of most of the top democratic opposition leaders.
