As part of our mission to broadcast all scholarly analysis of peaceful-resistance initiatives the world over as widely as possible, we list here five varieties of key resource material. We intend to make this resource as comprehensive as possible and ask all pertinent organizations to inform us of their materials dealing with nonviolent direct action and research on civil resistance. This page is under construction, so please bear with us as we work toward our goal of offering the most comprehensive list of such resources available anywhere, one that will eventually include material in languages other than English.
