The Nonviolent Conflict Workshop (NVCW) investigates the theory and practice of nonviolent civil res We are guided principally by the ideas of Gene Sharp.
The Nonviolent Conflict Workshop (NVCW) was set up in 2013 to investigate the theory and practice of nonviolent civil resistance. (Gene was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize three times.) We are based in Bangkok. We are part of the general ongoing discussion about nonviolent strategies that are relevant in the S E Asian context. Posts are designed to contain ideas which can usefully be applied i
n this part of the world. To assist this process we include details of the increasingly sophisticated tactics used by the opponent. We welcome anyone interested in this increasingly important topic. If you would like to come to one of our meetings or require further information, please send us a message! [email protected]
