Unarmed civilians employ coordinated and unconventional methods to deter or defend against usurpers and foreign aggressors or to overturn injustices, though without causing or threatening bodily harm to their opponents. Examples of nonviolent methods include demonstrations, protests, strikes, stay-at-homes, boycotts, street theatre, derision of authorities, rebellious graffiti and other communications, shunning of collaborators, building alternative institutions, and many more.

In a 2008 research paper titled “Why Civil Resistance Works: The Strategic Logic of Nonviolent Conflict,” Maria J. Stephan and Erica Chenoweth demonstrate the effectiveness of nonviolent resistance campaigns in comparison to violent resistance. The authors found that “nonviolent campaigns are more likely to succeed in the face of repression than are violent campaigns” because domestic repression against nonviolent campaigns increases public sympathy and support for the protesters. Additionally, in cases where security, police, or military forces begin to support the nonviolent campaign, it is 46 times more likely to succeed than campaigns that don’t gain security support.
