“…Before we show how nonviolence grapples with the three research questions, we must define the concept of nonviolence. Surely, ours is one of the possible pathways to concept formation (Mayton, , ch.3) although there is some convergence in the literature on definitional aspects (Atack, ; Jahanbegloo, ; Nagler, ; Vinthagen, ).…”

Nonviolence has an established tradition in several disciplines, including political theory, international relations and political science. But its potential for the European Union (EU) has not been appraised yet. Thus, we set out to explore nonviolence as an analytical and normative framework for the study of the EU. At the outset, we introduce nonviolence and define our approach to this concept. We then apply our analytical and normative framework to three critical issues concerning the nature of EU power, the democratic deficit and the narrative of integration. We find that nonviolence re-defines the core dimensions of power and democracy, and imagines the EU in non-state-morphic ways, situating praxis at the roots of the integration process and its narrative.

“…What is definitively ‘other than’, ‘the opposite of’, ‘NOT’ nonviolence? Conceptually, nonviolence is not the opposite of violence (Atack, ; Jahanbegloo, ; Prabhu and Rao, ). This is the reason why in the specialized literature the term is often spelled nonviolence instead of non‐violence.…”

“…Stephan's Why Civil Resistance Works: The Strategic Logic of Nonviolent Conflict (Schell 2005;Chenoweth and Stephan, 2013). There are moral, pragmatic, and compelling evidentiary arguments to endorse non-violent rather than violent dissent across differing geographic and historical contexts (Kurklansky 2006;Jahanbegloo 2014). Chenoweth and Stephan (2013, 10) argue that nonviolent campaigns offer a "participation advantage over violent insurgencies" because of lower "moral, physical, informational, and commitment barriers" to participation.…”

The conference was multidisciplinary, incorporating historians, philosophers, sociologists, political scientists, cultural studies scholars, critical theorists, literary scholars, art historians, architecture scholars, and activists. The conference addressed problems of resistance, opposition, and social change from perspectives contemporary and historical as well as theoretical and empirical in nature. This is the second of two volumes from the conference. The first, The Politics of Dissent (Óscar Garcia Agustín and Martin Bak Jørgensen, eds.), addresses contemporary dissent movements. This volume picks up on further themes of aesthetics, memory, intellectual history, representation, senses of time and problems of history. Combined, the volumes should take readers to multiple locales in the field of dissent, offering present-day as well as historically-based critiques. Neither the conference volumes nor the conference itself would have been possible without Óscar Garcia Agustín's and Martin Bak Jørgensen's work as coorganizers, nor that of Sandro Nickel, our other co-organizer. Óscar and Martin's work as editors of the series in which the volumes appear has also been invaluable. In addition to the series editors and the conference's organizers, I' d like to express my thanks to the Department of Culture and Global Studies and the Faculty of Humanities at Aalborg University. Both provided invaluable support for this project, and Department Chair Marianne Rostgaard deserves particular appreciation for her interest in the work. I should also thank Patrick Thomas Casey, copyeditor and style commentator for the project, for his close attention to detail. The work benefitted greatly from his engagement. Of course, no investigative or expressive act is arrived at without the influence of others. For the many friends, family and colleagues contributing to my intellectual development, I am grateful. I offer special thanks to my parents, Eve Kenyon and Bruce Dorfman, for imbuing me, each in their own way, with a spirit of dissent.

“…Somewhat belying Cady's complaints, each of these heroes can be placed at a different point along a continuum of types or degrees of pacifism. Although many theorists of nonviolence, Cady included, employ more elaborate classifications, most differentiate pragmatic, or strategic, from principled, or absolute, pacifism (see, e.g., Nojeim 25–28; Jahanbegloo 4–5). The major difference between these forms is that the former employs nonviolent strategies as a means toward achieving other ends, while the latter values nonviolence as an end or good in itself…”
