Science and technology for nonviolent struggle
نویسنده
چکیده
Organised nonviolent struggle, as an alternative to military methods, can be greatly aided by appropriate scientific research and technological development. The project involves surveying research and development relevant to a number of areas—such as industry, food production and communications—to assess its relevance to nonviolent struggle. The findings will be used to determine how science and technology used for the purposes of war and repression can be converted most effectively to serve the purposes of nonviolent struggle.
