Handboek voor verandering

Uit de introductie van Ideas for Change:

This resource will help you successfully challenge power and authority.

Whether it’s local officials trampling on your rights or a national government destroying our dwindling freedoms, there is always a need – and a right – to confront power. Intrusive bureaucrats, bullying corporations and intemperate lawmakers all need to be reminded that authority requires respect for dignity and rights. Empowered citizens help ensure that this reminder is never far away from their consciousness.

Sometimes we can influence change in a gentle and conventional way, but there are times when the only message is one that’s more relentless and even disruptive. That’s often the way the world is changed for the better. We’ll explore all possible options throughout this text.

In short, this booklet is an activist’s armoury. It brings together the wisdom of hundreds of campaigners throughout the centuries to provide a strategic shop front that lays out campaigning techniques from gentle moral persuasion, to breathtakingly potent non-aggressive power strategies.
