The map draws on data collected by Professor Erica Chenoweth and research fellow Christopher Shay that resoundingly showed that nonviolent campaigns achieve their political goals more effectively than violent campaigns. The <a href=\"https:\/\/news.harvard.edu\/gazette\/story\/2019\/02\/why-nonviolent-resistance-beats-violent-force-in-effecting-social-political-change\/\">findings<\/a> upended the long-held assumption that only violent insurgencies can bring about large-scale political transformation.<\/p>\n<p>Under the direction of Chenoweth and Shay, The Nonviolent and Violent Campaigns and Outcomes (NAVCO) data project is the first of its kind to collect systematic data on both violent insurgencies and nonviolent civil resistance campaigns. The coverage is global but includes only maximalist campaigns, that is, movements seeking to overthrow an incumbent government, expel a foreign military occupation, or claim territorial independence.<\/p>\n<p>The data project covers hundreds of these campaigns, and the interactive tool allows users to study trends in the onset and outcomes of mass mobilizations over time and across regions; patterns of participation in mass movements; retaliation against mass movements; the success or failure of the campaign; and more.<\/p>\n<p>Chenoweth and co-author Maria J. Stephan published their first analysis of the comparative outcomes of nonviolent and violent resistance campaigns in the 2011 book \u201cWhy Civil Resistance Works: The Strategic Logic of Nonviolent Conflict.\u201d In this book, the authors aggregated data from 1900\u20142006 and concluded that, overall, nonviolent civil resistance was more successful in achieving target outcomes than campaigns that use violence. The more recent dataset featured in the interactive tool confirms this trend and extends it into the last decade.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMany researchers around the world turn to the NAVCO data project to analyze the ways that both nonviolent and violent resistance affect global politics,\u201d says Chenoweth. \u201cChris and I are happy to make the newest version of the data available so that this important work can continue. I am also hopeful that the mapping tool will make the data more accessible to broad audiences who want to see where and how resistance campaigns have taken shape.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>NAVCO is an ongoing project that continues to collect data on mass mobilizations worldwide. Chenoweth and Shay expect to release the next iteration of the dataset, covering campaigns through 2019, later this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Harvard researchers develop interactive map that provides detail about mass uprisings around the world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":131912115,"featured_media":296328,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"gz_ga_pageviews":14,"gz_ga_lastupdated":"2021-12-08 22:23","document_color_palette":"crimson","author":"","affiliation":"Weatherhead Center for International Affairs","_category_override":"","_yoast_wpseo_primary_category":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1378],"tags":[25864,45193,45194],"gazette-formats":[],"series":[],"class_list":["post-296325","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nation-world","tag-nonviolence","tag-uprisings","tag-weatherhead-center-for-international-affairs-at-harvard-university"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v23.0 (Yoast SEO v27.1.1) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Map shows how nonviolent uprisings succeed &#8212;

The map draws on data collected by Professor Erica Chenoweth and research fellow Christopher Shay that resoundingly showed that nonviolent campaigns achieve their political goals more effectively than violent campaigns. The <a href=\"https:\/\/news.harvard.edu\/gazette\/story\/2019\/02\/why-nonviolent-resistance-beats-violent-force-in-effecting-social-political-change\/\">findings<\/a> upended the long-held assumption that only violent insurgencies can bring about large-scale political transformation.<\/p>\n<p>Under the direction of Chenoweth and Shay, The Nonviolent and Violent Campaigns and Outcomes (NAVCO) data project is the first of its kind to collect systematic data on both violent insurgencies and nonviolent civil resistance campaigns. The coverage is global but includes only maximalist campaigns, that is, movements seeking to overthrow an incumbent government, expel a foreign military occupation, or claim territorial independence.<\/p>\n<p>The data project covers hundreds of these campaigns, and the interactive tool allows users to study trends in the onset and outcomes of mass mobilizations over time and across regions; patterns of participation in mass movements; retaliation against mass movements; the success or failure of the campaign; and more.<\/p>\n<p>Chenoweth and co-author Maria J. Stephan published their first analysis of the comparative outcomes of nonviolent and violent resistance campaigns in the 2011 book \u201cWhy Civil Resistance Works: The Strategic Logic of Nonviolent Conflict.\u201d In this book, the authors aggregated data from 1900\u20142006 and concluded that, overall, nonviolent civil resistance was more successful in achieving target outcomes than campaigns that use violence. The more recent dataset featured in the interactive tool confirms this trend and extends it into the last decade.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMany researchers around the world turn to the NAVCO data project to analyze the ways that both nonviolent and violent resistance affect global politics,\u201d says Chenoweth. \u201cChris and I are happy to make the newest version of the data available so that this important work can continue. I am also hopeful that the mapping tool will make the data more accessible to broad audiences who want to see where and how resistance campaigns have taken shape.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>NAVCO is an ongoing project that continues to collect data on mass mobilizations worldwide. Chenoweth and Shay expect to release the next iteration of the dataset, covering campaigns through 2019, later this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n"}},"jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":125148,"url":"https:\/\/news.harvard.edu\/gazette\/story\/2012\/12\/egypts-revolution-a-work-in-progress\/","url_meta":{"origin":296325,"position":0},"title":"Egypt\u2019s revolution: A work in progress","author":"harvardgazette","date":"December 4, 2012","format":false,"excerpt":"Despite increasing dissatisfaction with the progress of political reforms, an Egypt expert said Monday that the nation\u2019s revolution, which began during the Arab Spring uprisings, is still just beginning.","rel":"","context":"In &quot;Nation &amp; World&quot;","block_context":{"text":"Nation &amp; World","link":"https:\/\/news.harvard.edu\/gazette\/section\/nation-world\/"},"img":{"alt_text":"","src":"https:\/\/news.harvard.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/120412_alterman_jon_123_605.jpg?resize=350%2C200","width":350,"height":200,"srcset":"https:\/\/news.harvard.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/120412_alterman_jon_123_605.jpg?resize=350%2C200 1x, https:\/\/news.harvard.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/120412_alterman_jon_123_605.jpg?resize=525%2C300 1.5x"},"classes":[]},{"id":124668,"url":"https:\/\/news.harvard.edu\/gazette\/story\/2013\/02\/violence-meet-nonviolence\/","url_meta":{"origin":296325,"position":1},"title":"Violence, meet nonviolence","author":"harvardgazette","date":"February 11, 2013","format":false,"excerpt":"Starting in 2014 at the Mahindra Humanities Center, a three-year, interdisciplinary seminar and lecture series, funded by the Andrew W.
