Scholars and activist leaders start to write about how people have used nonviolent methods. They begin to catalogue and document the variety of nonviolent actions and methods people have invented. Slowly they start to amass more detailed histories and case studies. Research programs and institutions are created and begin to systematically analyse the use of nonviolent methods. More thorough case histories are developed.
Conferences bring scholars and activists together to compare notes.
Lessons to be learned are extracted and theories begin to emerge. Informed by some of the more scholarly work, popular books and training manuals are developed. Educational materials about nonviolent strategy and campaign design are produced. More in-depth trainings are conducted. Grassroots and popular leaders are now aware of and more familiar with the power potential of nonviolent methods, not just from seeing demonstrations on CNN, but also because they are in touch with institutions, scholars, consultants and trainers who are familiar with a wide variety of cases.
