 ng><br />_________________________________________<br /><br />Across the
  world\, nonviolent movements offer resistance against repressive states
 \, imperial interventions and corporate abuses. However\, it is often ha
 rd for sympathetic activists in other nations to know how best to assist
  such movements. Howard Clark seeks to situate nonviolent struggles with
 in a global context in which international solidarity is a critical weap
 on that such movements can use to achieve their ends. <br /><br />Howard
  Clark has edited the recently published Pluto Press title &lsquo\;Peopl
 e Power: Unarmed Resistance and Global Solidarity&rsquo\;. The contribut
 ors place nonviolent struggles in an international context where solidar
 ity can play a crucial role. Yet they also warn that good intentions are
  not enough\, solidarity has to listen to local movements. Examining mov
 ements from Zimbabwe to Burma and Palestine\, the contributors assess va
 rious forms of solidarity\, arguing that a central role of solidarity is
  to strengthen the counter-power of those resisting domination and oppre
 ssion.<br /><br />Howard Clark is a nonviolent activist and independent 
 peace researcher living in Madrid. He has worked for Peace News and sinc
 e 2008 has been chair of War Resisters&rsquo\; International. He is a re
 search fellow of the Centre for Peace and Reconciliation Studies\, Coven
 try University and author of Civil Resistance in Kosovo (Pluto\, 2000) a
 nd co-author with April Carter and Michael Randle of People and Power Pr
 otest Since 1945: A Bibliography of Nonviolent Action (2006).<br />_____
