I am conducting an in-depth research project to document and study cases of citizen participation and nonviolent civic action to fight corruption, in order to distill general lessons learned and best practices.

The project will examine the skills, strategies, objectives, and demands of nonviolent civic campaigns and movements, rather than the phenomenon of corruption itself, or the conditions under which it occurs.

Drawing from a new release on the subject, find out what the rationale is for using "civil resistance" as a term that covers most of the ground associated with nonviolent action, without some of its unwanted aura of ascetic faith or doctrine.
