| "For more than a century from 1900 to 2006 campaigns of nonviolent resistance were more than twice as effective as their violent counterparts in achieving their stated goals By attracting impressive support from citizens whose activism takes the form of protests boycotts civil disobedience and other forms of nonviolent noncooperation these efforts help separate regimes from their main sources of power and produce remarkable results even in Iran Burma the Philippines and the Palestinian Territories Combining statistical analysis with case studies of specific countries and territories Erica Chenoweth and Maria J Stephan detail the factors enabling such campaigns to succeed and sometimes causing them to fail They find that nonviolent resistance presents fewer obstacles to moral and physical involvement and commitment and that higher levels of participation contribute to enhanced resilience greater opportunities for tactical innovation and civic disruption (and therefore less incentive for a regime to maintain its status quo) and shifts in loyalty among opponents' erstwhile supporters including members of the military establishment Chenoweth and Stephan conclude that successful nonviolent resistance ushers in more durable and internally peaceful democracies which are less likely to regress into civil war Presenting a rich evidentiary argument they originally and systematically compare violent and nonviolent outcomes in different historical periods and geographical contexts debunking the myth that violence occurs because of structural and environmental factors and that it is necessary to achieve certain political goals Instead the authors discover violent insurgency is rarely justifiable on strategic grounds"

What makes death so attractive so liberating and so inevitable for so many? In Teenage Suicide Notes sociologist Terry Williams pores over the writings of a diverse group of troubled youths to better grasp the motivations behind teenage suicide and to humanize those at risk of taking their own lives Williams evaluates young people in rural and urban contexts and across lines of race class gender and sexual orientation His approach which combines sensitive portrayals with sociological analysis adds a clarifying dimension to the fickle and often frustrating behavior of adolescents Williams reads between the lines of his subjects' seemingly straightforward reflections on alienation agency euphoria and loss and investigates how this cocktail of emotions can lead to suicide-or not Rather than treating these notes as exceptional examples of self-expression Williams situates them at the center of teenage life linking them to abuse violence depression anxiety religion peer pressure sexual identity and family dynamics He captures the currents that turn self-destruction into an act of self-determination and proposes more effective solutions to resolving the suicide crisis"
