Civil Resistance and Peacebuilding: How They Connect
Channel: United States Institute of Peace
Date: 2015-07-16

Organized non-violent citizen movements sometimes use confrontational, even disruptive, tactics such as protests and boycotts, yet such campaigns can contribute to democratic development and long-term peace. Join us on July 16 as USIP President Nancy Lindborg, Kerri Kennedy of the American Friends Service Committee and Manal Omar, Acting Vice President, Center for Middle East and Africa, USIP, explore this nexus of civil resistance and peacebuilding in the first of a new series by the USIP Global Campus. This event is held in collaboration with the online course, “Civil Resistance and the Dynamics of Nonviolent Movements.”
