From Dictatorship to Democracy

In 1993, political scientist Gene Sharp at the Albert Einstein Institution published a short manual on how ordinary people can dismantle dictatorships without violence.

From Dictatorship to Democracy, Sharp identified 198 methods of nonviolent resistance.

His manual was smuggled into Burma, printed underground in Serbia, and translated into Arabic before the Egyptian Revolution.

Resistance movements from Serbia to Egypt and Ukraine used his playbook.
