Keynote Address: Erica Chenoweth
No full textErica Chenoweth, Ph.D. is the Frank Stanton Professor of the First Amendment at Harvard Kennedy School and a Susan S. and Kenneth L. Wallach Professor at the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study. Chenoweth directs the Nonviolent Action Lab at Harvard’s Carr Center for Human Rights Policy, where they study political violence and its alternatives. Foreign Policy magazine ranked Chenoweth among the Top 100 Global Thinkers in 2013 for their efforts to promote the empirical study of nonviolent resistance.
Chenoweth’s latest book Civil Resistance: What Everyone Needs to Know (2021, Oxford) explores in an accessible and conversational style what civil resistance is, how it works, why it sometimes fails, how violence and repression affect it, and the long-term impacts of such resistance.
Chenoweth’s next book, with Zoe Marks, explores the impact of women’s participation on the outcomes of mass movements. In addition to exploring why women’s participation makes movements more likely to succeed, Marks and Chenoweth explore how frontline women’s participation leads to progress in women’s empowerment in some cases and reversals in others, as well as how gender-inclusive movements impact the quality of egalitarian democracy more generally
NAVCO 1.1 Dataset
No full textIncludes 323 maximalist campaigns from 1900 to 2006. The 1.1 version of NAVCO was published in 2011 along with the book Why Civil Resistance Works by Erica Chenoweth and Maria Stephan. These data are superseded by NAVCO 1.2 and are included here for archival purposes

NAVCO 2.1 Dataset
No full textCampaign-year data for 384 campaigns from 1945-2013, with several new variables, including aggregate participation counts, fatality ranges, and a nuanced set of variables regarding violent flanks. The data are posted here with the project codebook. Chenoweth & Shay will also release NAVCO 2.2, which updates the campaign-year data through 2017, in early 2020

Women in Resistance Dataset, version 1
No full textThe Women in Resistance (WiRe) Dataset catalogues women’s participation in 338 maximalist resistance campaigns (i.e. those campaigns that call for the toppling of an oppressive government or territorial self-determination). The dataset identifies both nonviolent and violent maximalist campaigns in every country in the world from 1945-2014, providing a comprehensive and systematic look at various dimensions of women’s participation in both types of campaigns
Pre-Analysis Plan for Women and Youth in Nonviolent Action Campaigns

WiRe+ Dataset, v1
No full textThe WiRe+ dataset includes novel measures of youth and LGBTQ+ participation in maximalist nonviolent campaigns from 1990-2020. This project extends the Women in Resistance (WiRe) Dataset, which identifies women’s frontline participation in roles in maximalist campaigns from 1945-2014, by adding comparable indicators for youth and LGBTQ+ participation in nonviolent campaigns only. Observational data were collected from all 209 maximalist nonviolent campaigns in the world, from 1990 to 2020. Maximalist campaigns are defined following the NAVCO data coding conventions, which includes all mass movements aimed at overthrowing the central government of a country, seceding, or establishing a newly independent state. During the study period, 192 of these campaigns pursued the overthrow of the government and 16 campaigns sought secession or self-determination using primarily unarmed resistance.
