social network movements: you can't beat them so why not join them?
TRANSCRIPT
Chenoweth has updated the bottom participation threshold required for
the successful overthrow of governments. Can you guess what this number
is? It’s not 50+1% of the population, nor is it 20% or 5%, as previously thought.
Astoundingly, it takes “the active and sustained
participation” of only 3.5% of any country’s citizenry
to pull off a revolution!
Erica Chenoweth, a
global expert on civil
resistance, has looked
at social movements
organizing against
oppressive regimes
from 1900 to 2006.
