00:00:00.060 --> 00:00:03.740
With this study, we were asking
a fundamental question:
2
00:00:03.740 --> 00:00:09.820
"which form of resistance, violent or nonviolent,
has been more effective historically
3
00:00:09.820 --> 00:00:12.180
in challenging the most formidable opponents?"
4
00:00:12.180 --> 00:00:19.140
So we collected data on 323 major violent
and nonviolent campaigns
5
00:00:19.140 --> 00:00:22.100
from 1900 to 2006.
6
00:00:22.100 --> 00:00:27.060
And these were campaigns that had
at least 1'000 observed participants
7
00:00:27.060 --> 00:00:31.260
and they included a sequence of
different nonviolent actions.
8
00:00:31.260 --> 00:00:34.380
So they were campaigns,
not just one protest or one strike.
9
00:00:34.380 --> 00:00:37.020
And we asked which one
has been more effective?
10
00:00:37.020 --> 00:00:43.220
By effective, we meant the campaigns that
challenged an incumbent regime
11
00:00:43.220 --> 00:00:45.780
and forced the removal of
an incumbent regime
12
00:00:45.780 --> 00:00:49.300
or that forced the withdrawal of
a military occupation.
13
00:00:49.300 --> 00:00:54.620
We found that the nonviolent campaigns
were twice as effective historically
14
00:00:54.620 --> 00:00:56.740
as the violent campaigns.
