Download or read book A Force More Powerful written by Peter Ackerman and published by St. Martin's Press. This book was released on 2015-12-01 with total page 560 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This nationally-acclaimed book shows how popular movements used nonviolent action to overthrow dictators, obstruct military invaders and secure human rights in country after country, over the past century. Peter Ackerman and Jack DuVall depict how nonviolent sanctions--such as protests, strikes and boycotts--separate brutal regimes from their means of control. They tell inside stories--how Danes outmaneuvered the Nazis, Solidarity defeated Polish communism, and mass action removed a Chilean dictator--and also how nonviolent power is changing the world today, from Burma to Serbia.

The book will have wide international appeal to students, academics, government officials, women’s rights activists and political activists, as well as anyone interested in international affairs, politics, social issues, gender and equality.
Download or read book Dynasties and Female Political Leaders in Asia written by Claudia Derichs and published by LIT Verlag Münster. This book was released on 2013 with total page 389 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the first comprehensive academic effort to examine the phenomenon of top female political leaders in Asia. It portrays prime ministers, presidents, and opposition leaders, but it is not a conventional biographical volume. Rather, it analyzes female politicians by means of case studies that are based on a common theoretical framework. The case studies were conducted over three years of field research, which included interviews with the female leaders themselves and members of their inner circle. Each chapter explores the similarities, but also points to the distinctiveness of each female leader, arising from political and social systems, cultural and religious conditions, and economic parameters.

Download or read book To Love Another Day written by Rapa Lopa and published by . This book was released on 2020-08-21 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For over two decades, Rapa Lopa had in his possession never-before-seen video interviews of his aunt, the late President Corazon C. Aquino, where she recounted, in vivid detail, the life-changing events of her family from the 1972 declaration of martial law until her assumption to the presidency following the 1986 EDSA People Power Revolution. These rare and private interviews, filmed at her office in the Cojuangco building in 1996, were meant to assist the Philippine democracy icon in writing her autobiography, which remained unfinished when she passed away in 2009. Twenty-three years later, upon the prodding of her spiritual adviser Fr. Catalino Arevalo, S.J., Lopa decided to resurrect the tapes and transcriptions and compile an edited selection of her stories into a book. The result of these collected remembrances is To Love Another Day, the unpublished memoirs of Cory Aquino from the most pivotal and transformative chapter of her life, narrated in her candid, unadorned, yet evocative, prose. It is the powerful and compelling tale of a woman who found herself catapulted into the eye of the country's political storm and how she weathered the challenges that fate had thrust upon her.

Download or read book Women in Power written by Gunhild Hoogensen and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2006-07-30 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Women in Power profiles 22 world leaders who have held the top positions of political power since 1960. Each chapter is devoted to a region of the world. In addition to providing an overview of the political careers of the women who emerged as leaders in these regions, the authors examine the political systems of each region in terms of the involvement of women in politics. Biographies of these political leaders are embedded within regional analyses that reveal not only the personal circumstances that each woman faced in her quest for power but also the political milieu from which she emerged. We learn about the obstacles as well as the advantages these women faced, and we derive insights into the structures that exist in our own societies regarding the power relations between men and women. Women in Power also devotes a chapter to differing theories of women's leadership and various theories of feminism around the world. Finally, in an effort to understand how the United States can appear to be the bastion of women's liberation around the world and yet have only 15 percent representation of women in power and no female president to date, the authors explore prospects for the upcoming 2008 U.S. presidential election and discuss potential candidates.
Download or read book Nonviolent Resistance written by Todd May and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2015-12-21 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We see nonviolent resistance all over today’s world, fromEgypt’s Tahrir Square to New York Occupy. Although wethink of the last century as one marked by wars and violentconflict, in fact it was just as much a century of nonviolence asthe achievements of Mohandas Gandhi and Martin Luther King, Jr. andpeaceful protests like the one that removed Ferdinand Marcos fromthe Philippines clearly demonstrate. But what is nonviolence? What makes a campaign a nonviolent one, and how does it work? What values does it incorporate? In this unique study, Todd May, a philosopher who has himselfparticipated in campaigns of nonviolent resistance, offers thefirst extended philosophical reflection on the particular andcompelling political phenomenon of nonviolence. Drawing onboth historical and contemporary examples, he examines the conceptand objectives of nonviolence, and considers the different dynamicsof nonviolence, from moral jiu-jitsu to nonviolent coercion. May goes on to explore the values that infuse nonviolent activity,especially the respect for dignity and the presupposition ofequality, before taking a close-up look at the role of nonviolencein today’s world. Students of politics, peace studies, and philosophy, politicalactivists, and those interested in the shape of current politicswill find this book an invaluable source for understanding one ofthe most prevalent, but least reflected upon, political approachesof our world.
