Monkey Cage contributor Erica Chenowth and Maria Stephan’s book was just named to The Guardian’s “Best Books of 2011,” thanks to Steven Pinker. He writes:
Erica Chenoweth and Maria J Stephan, Why Civil Resistance Works (Columbia). Gandhi was right, not just morally but empirically: nonviolent resistance is three times more effective than violence.
Congratulations, Erica!
