Nonviolent Action and Minority Inclusion
from Events at USIP Hosted by U.S. Institute of Peace
This USIP event featured lessons learned from cutting-edge research showing how nonviolent action affects political and economic inequality — particularly for historically excluded social and ethnic groups — using a cross-national statistical study and in-depth case studies from recent political transitions in Nepal and Indonesia. The research also specifically examines how movements can employ dialogue, negotiation and mediation to better ensure that political transitions following nonviolent action campaigns lead to greater inclusion for marginalized groups. This event explored the important implications for both policy and practice in ensuring more inclusive democratization processes in the aftermath of nonviolent action. Speakers Jonathan Pinckney, moderator Senior Researcher, Nonviolent Action, U.S. Institute of Peace Mohna Ansari Member, National Human Rights Commission of Nepal Subindra Bogati Founder and Chief Executive, Nepal Peacebuilding Initiative Titik Firawati Ph.D. Candidate in Political Science, Northern Illinois University Rosa Emilia Salamanca Director, Institute for Social and Economic Research and Action Deepak Thapa Director, Social Science Baha Ches Thurber Assistant Professor, Northern Illinois University For more information about this event, please visit: https://www.usip.org/events/nonviolent-action-and-minority-inclusion
