“a force more powerful challenges a longstanding myth that lies at the heart of much of the turmoil of the 20th century: that power comes from the barrel of a gun; based on convincing detail, ackerman and duvall dare to claim that nonviolent movements lead to more secure democracies. ” ― christian science monitor
troeh: a force more powerful is based on a film from the same name from 1999. steve york directed that film, and his production company helped fund the game. he says the difference between the film and the game is that in the game players control the story .
ivan marovic sits in his small apartment in belgrade, serbia, clicking away at his laptop. he' s playing a game, a force more powerful. in it, he leads a virtual non - violent opposition. their goal is to oust a corrupt official, and to help do it they stage a three - day rally .
troeh: more than 700 copies of a force more powerful have been sold in the month since its release. marovic says players in europe, africa, asia, and north america are already creating scenarios based their own real governments with the games build your own function. and, he says, they' ll eventually be able to share them online .
this two - part emmy - nominated series explores one of the 20th century' s most important but least understood stories: how nonviolent power has overcome oppression and authoritarian rule all over the world. part 1 contains the india, nashville and south africa segments. a force more powerful has been translated into more than a dozen languages and inspired millions around the world, from burma to cuba to belarus .

on display in the breakaway games suite at the recent serious games summit in washington, d. c. , a force more powerful was arguably one of the most intriguing products at the show. it was conceived and executed by a group that includes the international center on nonviolent conflict (icnc), documentary filmmakers york - zimmerman and breakaway games, ltd .

troeh: marovic says, for those who do have the skills and equipment to play, whether gamers, academics or activists, the game presents non - violence as a realistic alternative to brute force .
mr. steve york (director, a force more powerful): it' s their skills, their ingenuity, it' s their ability to make the right decisions that determines how that conflict is going to turn out, who' s going to win, on what terms. troeh: players choose from ten different situations for conflict, from ousting a brutal regime to fighting for civil right in a democracy. a major limit of the game though is that it can' t be used by many people in real - life conflicts. users have to have a computer, and the game requires a lot of reading. for activists trying to organize poor or uneducated people, those are major obstacles. zoteil berbera (ph) is a social justice activist in new orleans .
in addition, there is the resistopedia (with a tip of the hat to civilization), which players can use to learn more about the elements and concepts that are included in the game .
means and ends - the eternal debate - can the ends ever justify the means... well perhaps the ideology can justify the means which leads to the ends of the ideology, but without peaceful means, long lasting peace will never result. non - violence leads to non - violence as violence is undermined by a moral' force more powerful'. a very intelligent, structured thesis that only lacks in the fact that it could look outside the 20th century to create a wider paradigm. the inclusion of wider political theories and translation of the concept into other social scenarios, such as the work place (focussing on democratic work processes), the home (empowering the home - bound parent and children) and the micro - society (daily interactions and their relation to the greater' social contract') would have made this more complete (and better value for money). a very good read all the same !
violence is a way of life for most americans, yea, most human beings. i speak not of the typical depiction of physical violence, but rather of the far more insidious violence we all are familiar with: the presence of malice in one' s actions .
a force more powerful
deals with the issue of violence and nonviolence in a much more macro fashion, relaying the stories of entire societies as they pushed toward social change via nonviolent means. gandhi' s salt march among many others was just one of the major steps to freeing india from british colonial rule. the series of civil disobedience and noncooperation enacted by both black and white students in nashville got things done. jim crowism was no longer legal as a result. the overall message of this video is empowering and demonstrates that guns and bombs are not necessary for revolutions to occur. we need only to unite in one voice and show the world that we will not stand for injustice. nonviolence seeks not to harm, but to change minds and move hearts. a must see along with

but that is only the first impression. very quickly, with a bit of orientation into the game' s reality, it becomes clear that this is really far closer to what people in a (generally) under - funded underground political movement would be using to plan their activities. in short, it was a far more realistic environment than a bunch of slick printouts, windows dialogs and other more computer - like displays would have been. in fact, it supported the game' s immersion beautifully and appeared to be highly functional, as well .

against all the retaliatory power of british imperialism, of the third reich and american apartheid and the soviet monolith and tin - pot fascisms in south africa and latin america, a principled and nuanced nonviolence would ultimately prevail. so much for theories of totalitarianism. while our host for a force more powerful, the perhaps inevitable ben kingsley, is so understated as to suggest sedation, what we see on the screen is thrilling - - fisk students taunting each other with racist epithets to prepare for dime - store confrontations; polish workers occupying factories and negotiating a breath of air; jewish children whisked out of their classrooms by danish teachers before the death - camp roundup; bishop tutu telling off youthful rioters in cape town; those mothers in black in santiago; and all of india refining salt while gandhi plays with his spinning wheel .
steve york does, in a force more powerful: a century of nonviolent conflict (mondays, september 18 and 25; 9 to 10: 30 p. m. ; channel 13). covering the past 100 years, as atrocious as any in human history, this remarkable documentary mini - series still manages to find reasons for radical optimism. in india in 1930 for gandhi' s march to the sea to collect salt, in denmark during the nazi occupation, in the american south for the first sit - ins at segregated lunch counters, in poland for the shipyard strike at gdansk and the birth of solidarity, in south africa for the start of an economic boycott that spread to every western nation, and in chile for the
no
campaign against pinochet, it bears witness to the tactics and triumph of nonviolent resistance that was anything but passive .
this is neither a review nor a complete look at the product, but a first impression, and, as such, i will not attempt to provide every detail of the game, but suffice it to say, i think this game looks intriguing and… yes… fun to play. fun in the sense that it provides real gaming challenges while dealing with difficult and even more challenging real - world situations .
mr. marovic: i said to myself, oh cool, you cannot intimidate a compact disc, or you cannot expel it from a country. this will be a nice training tool .
this is a very simplistic view of how the game works, but because of the variety of variables, agents and other scripted factors – such as cultural attitudes among factions – contained within any given scenario, i suspect playing it will lead to all kinds of emergent behaviors, and players may adopt a variety of strategies for playing – some more successful than others .
afmp offers a great variety of potential strategy, learning and gameplay, along with access to immediate information about the game state and the state of various agents and groups. from my brief look at the game, i was impressed that the elements of good gaming – challenge and long, short and mid - range goals, rewards, feedback and experimentation, to name a few – were all present. while many so - called “serious” games may be relegated to a small and focused audience, i think afmp could merit the attention of any gamer who likes to think, be challenged and immerse him or herself into a rich world of intrigue with significant stakes. the fact that the game models important real - world situations and events makes it all the more powerful. and the addition of an editor to allow players to create their own scenarios promises a wealth of new content and interesting twists and plot variations from the product' s users .

dr. page is involved in a recasting of well - known thought to begin gathering, filling in and connecting those fragments. our author explains how social theory, political philosophy, ethics and educational theory, contribute to the peace educational enterprise, whether explicit or not. peace education: exploring philosophical foundations reveals how the envisioning, proposing, planning, teaching (of numerous schools of thought) for a better world all correspond with explicit goals of the field, as well as encouraging the good in the individual, community, through values and norms. despite the difficulties in any articulation that philosophy of peace education will have, this book is an impressive piece in the development of intellectual foundations for peace education. it should be a used as a primary source of curriculum and research for peace educators, students, advocates and scholars. i plan to use it in my courses .

t has somehow been written - - in bullet holes and amputations, in shell shock and mushroom clouds - - that political science is a clenched fist, that power flows from the mouth of a gun, that blood lust is coded in our genome, that death is the inevitable trajectory of all narrative. thus, in entertainment as in statecraft, the basic plotline is a showdown followed by a body count. who would think passive resistance had a chance against massive retaliation ?
violence is never a direct option for people within the movement (players), but violence can erupt, especially if the agents who are sent into an action have not had sufficient nonviolent training, or if they are simply more predisposed toward violence. for this reason, one of the player' s challenges is to pick the right agents and the right groups to employ within a given circumstances. for instance, insurgency groups may prove to be useful, but they can' t be controlled as well and may resort to violence if met with significant resistance .

innogames — hamburg, germany [ 07. 09. 18 ] art director ã¢ââ for a new mobile game
it was at the magic lantern theater, on a stage set for durrenmatt' s minotaurus, under a television set with the sound turned off, that vaclav havel and his friends - - writers, professors, actors, and jailbird intellectuals - - met to compose a brand - new social contract. ash tells us that once when they were tired and depressed, students appeared onstage dressed comically as young pioneers (red kerchiefs, white blouses, and pigtails) :
it is the committee for a more joyful present. we have come, they say, to cheer you up - - and make sure you don' t turn into another politburo. then they hand out little circular mirrors to each member of the plenum .
so that the members of that plenum would have to look at themselves as they wrote the future .
two years ago, a washington d. c. production company and the international center for non - violent conflict asked marovic to translate his experience into a game for peace scholars and activists. he jumped at the chance .
troeh: marovic has lived scenes like this in real life. he was a leader in the serbian student group otpor, which helped bring down dictator slobodan milosevic in 2000 without firing a single shot. otpor used all non - violent action .

one of the first impressions i got was the graphic style of the game. although there is an overview map that is done in a slick, modern simcity sort of graphic, most of the game is played using what look like crude notebooks and whiteboards with handwriting, color highlighting and various methods of marking items such as circling in red or checkmarks. it looks something like a digital reproduction of a collection of handwritten notes. and at first glance, it looks like a prototype mockup .
i had to watch this for a course i was taking and it proved to be very interesting. i genuinely enjoyed it .
a new video game aims to teach kids about non - violent solutions to conflict. eve troeh reports that the game' s creator has plenty of experience — he was a leader of serbian student protests that helped to bring down dictator slobodan milosevic in 2000 .
here is a look at conflict from an alternate vantage point, and not coincidentally one of the finest tv tie - in books .
in the 1930s, gandhi leads a campaign of civil disobedience to loosen' s britain' s hold on power. nonviolent weapons are taken up by black college students in the' 60s who desegregate nashville and create a model for the civil rights movement. in 1985, mkhuseli jack leads a nonviolent consumer boycott in s. africa which awakens whites to black grievances and weakens business support for apartheid .
so how do you get things done to further your cause? basically, afmp employs a system that can be described as “subject - verb - object. ” the way it works is that you first pick someone from your list of available agents, then pick an action for them to carry out, and finally pick a target for the action. a common example is to pick someone who has good fundraising skills or good relationships with a specific group, for instance, then pick the “fundraising” action and, finally, pick the group you want them to target for raising funds. you can set a time period for the action – say two weeks – and the game will track this and all other ongoing actions. on a specific screen of the “magic” whiteboard, you can track the progress of all ongoing actions .

urltoken provides a window into in - depth analysis of civil resistance movements, their dynamics, and the full range of nonviolent tactics [... ]
the game uses a consistent color - coding system, with green representing a positive value, yellow neutral and red, negative. it' s easy to see at a glance, throughout the game, the relative positions and / or strengths and weaknesses of specific groups and individuals. basic states, such as fear, enthusiasm, religious and ethnic affiliations, and policy preferences are pivotal variables for determining and predicting how certain groups and individuals may respond at any given moment in the game. sometimes the goal is to raise a group' s enthusiasm for change higher than their level of fear of reprisals. of course, there is a variety of actions available to accomplish this goal. in fact, many of the strategies available to players were distilled from one of the seminal works on nonviolence, “the politics of nonviolent action” by dr. gene sharp (urltoken). from a list of 198 possible actions, the game developers condensed the list to 84 .

the game is rich in features and feedback mechanisms, and even contains real - time rendered cut scenes that show events that take place using parameters from the game state. the city map view identifies specific areas of the city, and overlays can quickly tell you their current state of fear, enthusiasm, etc. in addition, key locations are highlighted on the city map, allowing players to direct actions to those locations – such as government buildings, newspaper offices, etc. to thicken the plot even more, players can send infiltrators into the enemy system, but the enemy can do likewise .
behind the game is a wealth of real - world and theoretical experience on the subject of nonviolent conflict, including dr. peter ackerman, chairman of the icnc and ivan marovic of otpor, the serbian resistance movement that played a critical role in the ousting of slobodan milosevic. the project supervisor is steve york, who created the original documentary .

on the contrary, this resistance was active, mobile, disciplined, and smart - - as shrewd in its scattershot dispersal of actions and resources as it was sophisticated in its sequencings of protests, slowdowns, strikes, and sabotage; as media - savvy in its selection of symbolic issues as it was innovative in rallying support, evading censorship, and capitalizing on overreactions. if the intention was to dramatize the depraved nature of authority by withholding consent - - by refusing to abide by the rules; by challenging a regime' s legitimacy; by disrupting public life and destabilizing the economy - - there was also a crucial dividend. in mobilizing a popular movement against tyranny and exploitation, occupation and oppression, servitude and second - class citizenship, the resistance also created and sustained a community with a right to feel proud of itself: the wherewithal of civil society .

ms. zoteil berbera (social justice activist): it seems like it would be hard for people with illiteracy; it' s a challenge for me because i don' t use computers that well, and, you know, i work on a computer every day. so, i think that for folks who are really new to computers, and who weren' t strong readers, that it might be challenging .

our view is that nonviolent struggle is a social science that can be studied and understood, and that practitioners can increase their chances of success by learning lessons from each other as well as from cutting edge academic scholarship on this topic .
as a final personal note, i can attest from experience that this game accurately models many of the challenges and struggles of an underground or citizen movement whose goal is to affect nonviolent change and public awareness, in a situation with volatile factions and the true potential for violence. from that perspective, i kept saying “aha” when i received the demo of this game. time and time again i recognized the situations, struggles and choices that had to be made in such circumstances. in short, this game rang true for me .
an entire history has gone not only unhonored but almost unremarked upon, because it' s not all that spectacular. it lacks a lip - smacking body count. it proposes courage and endurance, love and ingenuity, comradeship and suppleness. if danish schoolboys could unbalance the nazi killing machine, if the women of manila could embarrass the tanks of ferdinand marcos with a bouquet of yellow flowers, what might any of us be capable of? i am reminded of a visit to prague in the summer of 1990, where we tried to imagine in wenceslas square that multitude whose jangling of keys had sounded to the peripatetic historian timothy garton ash like
massed chinese bells .
where we ventured from kafka' s castle and the jewish cemetery and the old town cuckoo clock to the very birthplace of the velvet revolution .
icnc runs a number of grant - supported academic and educational programs to meet the growing demand for cutting edge research, applied knowledge and practical skills in this field. look at our research, writing, teaching and other educational offerings and review current calls for proposals or applications .
this is a very important book and deserves consideration for inclusion in all history education classes in america, if not the world. of course, many powers - that - be would be adverse to this subversive idea, since it would in effect, instruct people on how to take control of their own lives out of the hands of malfeasant, greedy politicians and instead empower democracy through democracy, rather than the current american vogue of democracy at the point of a gun. the book describes several of the well - known non - violent movements as well as lesser known ones, such as the german women who embarrassed the nazis into returning their arrested jewish husbands from certain death. the associated documentary is also outstanding. a must - have for anyone who hopes the world can save itself from itself (and i' m not sure i' m in that category. )
incredibly well put together, thorough, and important. it drew parallels cleverly but not pedantically between the movements and had accurate and well - organized information. it was a little slow - moving for my middle school students when shown in class, but most learned from it with assignments and incentives attached .
inspired by the york - zimmerman documentary of the same name, which was aired on pbs in 2000 and narrated by ben kingsley, the game is a turn - based strategy game that currently consists of ten pre - built scenarios and an editing system that will allow players to create scenarios of their own .

of course, the interfaces do things that we can' t do with paper – such as scrolling lists within the page or overlaying different data set information at the touch of a button. yes, these are somewhat magical notebooks and whiteboards, but they still convey the atmosphere of the world of the underground movement .
our brooklyn pax christi group viewed this video at our october meeting and found it to be inspiring and provocative. it provided an expanded perspective on the actions and strategies of effective peace movements which led to a discussion of the key elements that enhance the efforts of all those seeking to resolve conflict through non - violent action .
peace education is now well recognized within international legal instruments and within critical educational literature as an important aspect of education. despite this, little attention has been given in the critical literature to the philosophical foundations for peace education and the rationale for peace education thus remains substantially an assumed one. this investigation explores some possible ethico - philosophical foundations for peace education, through an examination of five specific ethical traditions: 1) virtue ethics, whereby peace may be interpreted as a virtue, and / or virtue is interpreted as peacefulness, and peace education as education in that virtue; 2) consequentialist ethics, whereby peace education may be interpreted as education regarding the consequences of our action and inaction, both as individuals and collectivities; 3) conservative political ethics, whereby peace education may be interpreted as emphasizing the importance of the evolution of social institutions and the importance of ordered and lawful social change; 4) aesthetic ethics, whereby peace may be interpreted as something beautiful and valuable in itself, and peace education as emphasizing the importance of that beauty and value; and 5) the ethics of care, whereby care may be interpreted as a core element in peace, and peace education as encouraging trust and engagement with the other. the study addresses major contributions to each of these ethical traditions, the strengths and weaknesses of the tradition, and the ways in which the tradition provides support for peace education. it is argued in the thesis that each tradition provides only a partial basis for peace education, and that ultimately a holistic and integrative understanding is required, one that encourages a culture of peace .
... an important addition to the emerging literature on peace education and the culture of peace
( from the foreword by koichiro matsuura, director - general of unesco) .
i read this for a class, and also watched the movie of the same name. some chapters were longer and dryer than others, but there were interesting stories of nonviolent resistance that we don' t hear much about in typical history books and classes. i gave it three stars because the writing really dragged at times, even thought the stories were interesting .
mr. marovic: my experience from otpor helped me in the design of these non - violent tactics, things like strikes, boycotts, protests. but also, since i lived under milosevic in serbia and witnessed four wars, i witnessed economic sanctions, hyper - inflation, that helped me a lot to design various regime tactics, assassinations, kidnapping, arrests, torture .
nor have these three hours exhausted the rich subject. in a companion volume with the same name, by peter ackerman and jack duvall (st. martin' s press), we spend time in burma, el salvador, mongolia, argentina, and the philippines. we meet leo tolstoy and corazón aquino and aung san suu kyi. we hear about the women of india, who boiled the water for the salt, who shamed buyers of confiscated goods, who were beaten by police, and who went to jail in the tens of thousands. we revisit those dutch doctors who refused, during the nazi occupation, to screen for race and genetic defects. we recall the nonviolent aspects of the palestinian intifada, a
white revolution
of theater, poetry, and flags, of cigarette boycotts, tax refusals, and job actions. we remember yellow flowers, nappies worn as symbolic scarves, open palms and hidden cows and whistles instead of guns .
as for actual gameplay – the game includes information about specific individuals – leaders of the movement and other important figures – and each significant faction. for individuals, there are a number of associated characteristics, such as the “violence unwillingness”, public influence, ambition, and will. for factions, there is information about their support of the various important elements of the struggle – for instance, do they have strong, weak or neutral support for the current regime? for the workers? for insurgency? etc .
besides embarrassing the british, gandhi decolonized the indian mind. besides refusing to build german ships, feed the german army, or honor nazi racial laws, the danish resistance saved not only the lives of many jewish citizens but also the nation' s dignity. besides desegregating nashville' s downtown shopping center and changing the minds of its mayor and newspaper editor, students at fisk university and local black churches inspired a civil - rights movement that swept across america. solidarity, which simply insisted on the right to strike and never fired a single shot, planted the seeds for that velvet revolutionizing of police states all over eastern europe. mandela may have prolonged his long ordeal in prison by declining to renounce violence, but his release only became possible - - much less his presidency even imaginable - - after an economic boycott strangled the apartheid state. chile was delivered from pinochet' s dictatorship not by left - wing guerrillas but by unions and the mothers of the disappeared, by non - shopping days and monthly candlelit protests, by street festivals and songfests and slick television commercials before the 1988 plebiscite .
this nationally - acclaimed book shows how popular movements used nonviolent action to overthrow dictators, obstruct military invaders and secure human rights in country after country, over the past century. peter ackerman and jack duvall depict how nonviolent sanctions - - such as protests, strikes and boycotts - - separate brutal regimes from their means of control. they tell inside stories - - how danes outmaneuvered the nazis, solidarity defeated polish communism, and mass action removed a chilean dictator - - and also how nonviolent power is changing the world today, from burma to serbia .
