Justice Without Violence investigates nonviolent ways—both successful and unsuccessful—of confronting acute political and economic injustice around the world.

A well-integrated mixture of theoretical analysis and case studies (from Asia, Africa, Europe, Latin America, and the Middle East), the book examines nonviolent direct action, political action, economic sanctions, and social movements as alternative remedies in the struggle for justice. The authors thus address the basic questions that underlie current debates in international politics over the use of preventive diplomacy, humanitarian intervention, and international enforcement action.

Paul Wehr is professor of sociology at the University of Colorado and is author of Conflict Regulation and coauthor (along with Arnold Goldstein, Edward Carr, and William Davidson) of In Response to Aggression: Methods of Control and Prosocial Alternatives. Heidi Burgess and Guy Burgess are codirectors of the University of Colorado's Conflict Resolution Consortium. Guy Burgess's previous works include Social System of the Planet Earth (coauthored with Elise Boulding and Kenneth Boulding).
