| Summary |
""This book explores the concept of "dilemma action," which offers a structured, strategic approach to effective nonviolent struggle. Dilemma actions are designed to create a response dilemma or lose-lose situation for public authorities by forcing them to either concede some public space to protesters or make themselves look absurd or heavy-handed by acting against the protest."--Provided by publisher"-- Provided by publisher |
