Who decides which forms of resistance are legitimate?

History is full of resistance movements that were condemned in their time but later celebrated, including the French Resistance, women’s suffrage and the fight against apartheid led by Nelson Mandela. This begs the question: Which modern resistance movements will the world honor in the future, and what determines whether or not they are recognized?  In this episode, we explore the question of what makes resistance legitimate. Is it the cause, the tactics, the outcome—or something else? And who gets to decide whether or not legitimacy is granted?    💬 Join the conversation in the comments.   Featuring:   Diana Buttu: Practitioner-in-residence, Georgetown University in Qatar   Victor Gao: Vice president, Center for China and Globalization  Saeed Khan: Associate professor of Near East & Asian studies, Wayne State University   Amina Rasul: President, Philippine Center for Islam and Democracy  Moderated by presenter, filmmaker and producer Nadir Nahdi.
