New York : Routledge, 2023. 154 p. ; 24 cm. Civil resistance and its democratising qualities -- The resistance history of Burma/Myanmar -- The Saffron Uprising -- Yee Yee Htun -- The resistance history of Palestine -- The Bil'in campain -- Ashraf Abu Rahmah -- Conclusions. "This book examines transnational civil-society-based democracy-promoting resistance activities in Asia in a global era, focusing on the cases of Myanmar and Palestine. The work contributes to our understanding of the nexus between globalization, power and democracy by examining: (i) the ways in which globalization/global governance are influencing various resistance practices of the civil societies in Myanmar and Palestine, and what this means for local democracy promotion; and (ii) the ways in which these two civil societies influence and have a democracy-promoting impact on their respective communities. It is guided by the overarching question of how civil-society-based resistance contributes to local democracy in Myanmar and Palestine. The book is structured as follows: both civil resistance cases begin with an overview of each country's non-violent resistance history, and the findings are then presented for the two cases, i.e., the pro-democracy movements in the Saffron uprising in Myanmar and the Bil'in village struggle against the Israeli Security Barrier plans to build through their farmlands. Then follows a presentation of the life-story interview made with two members from the respective campaigns. A concluding chapter proposes some new theoretical insights for how civil resistance can impact on democracy. The book empirically and theoretically contributes to our understanding of how civil-society-based resistance and democracy interrelate in a global era. This book will be of much interest to students of civil resistance, democracy, Asian Studies, Middle Eastern Studies and International Relations in general"-- Provided by publisher.
