| Title | Empowering People Power: The Effects of Foreign Support on Nonviolent Campaigns and Movements |
| Summary | If diversity of participation is indeed the chief indicator for success in nonviolent campaigns and movements, then what might this suggest about the variable importance of foreign support? Might one thus be able to argue that foreign support that increases participation may be effective while foreign support that inhibits a movement from inspiring mass participation within diverse sectors of the population, may reduce the movement’s chances for success? Given these dynamics one could hypothesize that elements indicative of successful nonviolent struggle on the domestic level, namely participation, and diversity, are also important on an international level. This paper will analyze two cases, Georgia’s 2003 Rose Revolution, and the East Timorese Struggle for Independence, attempting to more precisely determine the degree to which foreign support may or may not effect the outcome of a nonviolent struggle. |
