'Our Center has also collaborated with several international organizations that furnish

seminars and workshops in nonviolent tactics and that independently disseminate this

knowledge to activists, such as the Centre for Applied Nonviolent Action and Strategies

(CANVAS) in Belgrade, Nonviolence International in Washington, and the Center for

Victims of Torture. CANVAS is led by veterans of the movement that ousted Milosevic in

Serbia, and they will soon make universally downloadable their comprehensive

curriculum in strategic nonviolent action.'

'When my friends at CANVAS conduct a workshop on nonviolent struggle they ask

participants to prepare a power graph.'

Conference on Civil Resistance and Power Politics

St. Antony’s College, Oxford, 15-18 March 2007

Before I begin, I’d like to thank Sir Adam Roberts, Timothy Garton Ash, Tom Davies, my

colleague Berel Rodal, and the other organizers of this extraordinary conference. This

must be the first time such a diverse international group of distinguished scholars and

writers have gathered to extend our understanding of civil resistance, or what many of us

refer to as nonviolent conflict.
