Abstract
Nonviolent sanctions, the study of organized, prepared struggle and resistance beyond the “normal” political process, may be a subject of value to the subfield of international relations. Significant conflict is reduced and settled through voting, adjudication, negotiation, bargaining and other established tools for regulating political behavior. Our focus here, however, is on less traditional forms of action. Nonviolent action and struggle include a much broader range of powerful options than surrender or violent resistance.
