Freedom Without Violence
'Freedom Without Violence' offers a critical appraisal of the conventional wisdom that violence is required for liberation and the defense of freedom. Comparing the broad span of violent revolutions with the history of non-violent social movements, the book shows that freedom is indelibly tied to the means used to achieve and defend it.
Plebeian Absences
The origin of the idea of defending freedom is connected with what we would now consider civil disobedience and nonviolent withdrawal. In the founding stories of the Roman Republic, heroic men and women, such as Brutus and Lucretia, model self-sacrifice, restraint, and moderation even as they resist the exploitation of the patricians. In the early Republic, the poorest citizens of Rome (the plebs) follow this model. Refusing to participate in war…

The Failure of Pacifism and the Success of Nonviolence
Although pacifism and nonviolence bear a close relationship to one another historically, pacifism is the ideological assertion that war and violence should be rejected in political and personal life, whereas nonviolence refers to a distinct set of political practices. Unlike other modern ideologies such as liberalism and socialism, pacifism has never gained widespread acceptance among a significant portion of humanity and seems to remain a minori…
Torture Is Not a Game
John Schiemann's Interrogational Torture: Or How Good Guys Get Bad Information with Ugly Methods posits that we can use game theory to determine whether or not is an effective way to get information. Schiemann says that game theory is a necessary- perhaps our only-means to obtain firm that meet a scientific standard when comes to the effectiveness of (Schiemann 2012, 3). His model will substitute for the empirical data we do not- and likely will …
Terror in and out of power
This article explores the relationship between terror, power and the rule of law. First, tracing Burke's use of the term terror back to ancient Greek usage, I argue that being terrified is incommensurable with the experience of acting together with others. In this way, terror and power are distinct. However, most acts of terror aim to terrify some people while inoculating others from terror. Witnesses to the terror of others may feel empowered by…
Conservative Democratic Thought and the War on Terror
When States Choose to Die
In order to explain the creation and maintenance of a number of important international institutions, scholars must reconsider a commonly held assumption about what states want. Structural realists show that the assumption that states desire survival explains a wide range of outcomes. Yet the survival assumption prevents both realists and liberal institutionalists from offering a plausible account of international organizations that are costly to…
