I'm not teaching my grad course 'Civil Resistance: How It Works' this semester. But here is an abridged version of the course schedule, readings, and films I used the last time I taught it (in 2022). Just in case it's useful. drive.google.com/file/d/14RRJ...

Read @ccaryl.bsky.social on how the rise of the Georgian Dream party has contributed to Georgia’s authoritarian turn—and what Moscow stands to gain if Tbilisi pivots decisively away from the West:

In 2024, a few remarkable events offered a glimmer of hope, proving that democracy, while vulnerable, has an inherent capacity for resilience. Nowhere was this resilience more evident than in Senegal, South Korea, and India. #MyPiece National Herald, 29 December 2024.

The fall of the Bashar al-Assad regime is likely to provide Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan with freer rein in Syria—but it will also heighten the risk of instability and extremism that could spill over into Turkey, writes @gonultol.bsky.social.

Assad’s downfall is a boon for Erdogan—at least for now.

A sign of a strong democracy is that conflict can exist and does lead to neither physical violence nor a collapse of the entire political system. In Aoteroa/New Zealand about 30000 to 45000 Maori marched against a draft bill undermining Maori rights www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2...
