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. | In a 2008 research paper titled “Why Civil Resistance Works: The Strategic Logic of Nonviolent Conflict,” Maria J.
