Thisbook analyses how humour in political activism contributes to facilitatingoutreach, mobilisation and the sustaining of cultures of resistance. Drawingon examples of attention-grabbing stunts from around the world, Humour inPolitical Activism demonstrates how they succeed in turning relations ofpower upside down. Theambiguity and unpredictability of humour, Sørensen argues, makes it difficultto respond to this form of political activism when it is performed inpublic. Humorous political stunts can therefore challenge state power,help influence changes in law and make significant contributions to theconversations about how societies should be organised. Thebook also investigates the potential risks and limitations of using humour innonviolent action and what makes humour unique compared with other forms ofnon-humorous political activism.

Constructive resistance occurs when people start to build the society they desire independently of and in opposition to the dominant structures already in place. Through case studies and illustrative examples from around the world, this book explores how people working for a more just, sustainable and peaceful future combine construction and resistance. The book provides students and practitioners of resistance with tools to detect, critically discuss and evaluate cases of constructive resistance. While some movements focus mainly on either construction or resistance, the authors argue that those who manage to creatively combine the two are likely to achieve more far-reaching goals and see their results become more durable.

Konflikter finnes overalt i vårt samfunn. De er komplekse og vi behøver kunskap for å håndtere dem på en fornuftig måte. Langt fra alle konflikter er voldelige, og noen er til og med nyttige. Men for å undvike vold må man ha en velutrustet verktøykasse med redskaper få å kunne skape gode resultater. De første slike nyttige verktøy er presentert her.

Boken Fred med fredelige midler er en introduksjon til konflikt-forståelse. Kunnskap om konflikters bestanddeler og dynamikk er nødvendig for enhver som ønsker å påvirke konflikter på en klok og fredelig måte.

Boken er også en første introduksjon til hvordan ikkevolds-prinsipper og ikkevoldskamp kan være med på å skape et bedre samfunn for alle involverte. På samme måte som det norske demokratiets friheter og rettigheter i sin tid ble kjempet fram av sterke ikkevoldelige folkelige bevegelser, er det i dag fortsatt behov for å drive en fredelig kamp for de nye utfordringer som møter oss.
