About the Event
Episode 727 If You Need Nonviolent Defence
There is a resurgence of interest in the efficacy of nonviolent action/civil resistance. It has a strong track record in overthrowing or liberalizing dictatorships. This interview, on Project Save the World's substack, explores a further dimension: nonviolent, or civilian-based, defence. Isaiah Ritzmann and Richard Sandbrook, co-coordinators of the Canadian Coalition for Nonviolent Defence, discuss historical cases as well as the rationale, viability and feasibility of this strategic concept. The bottom line? It may only be implementable as part of a broader program of democratic renewal
