Biography
Johannes Vüllers is Professor at the Institute of Political Science, University Duisburg-Essen, Germany.
"Nepal is a crucial case to study for anyone interested in the dynamics of civil resistance. In this important and carefully researched book, Johannes Vüllers opens up a new avenue for research on organizational dynamics. Studying the dynamics between campaign- and non-campaign organizations, this impressive book offers a rich and valuable contribution to an understudied field of research."
Isak Svensson, Dag Hammarskjöld Professor in Peace and Conflict Research, Uppsala University
"Dr. Vüllers’s 'Navigating Civil Resistance' breaks new ground focusing attention on important and overlooked organizations that operate in both violent and nonviolent conflicts. Distinguishing between types of organizations, Vüllers shows how less central organizations can play key roles in transitioning societies, bringing shifting goals and strategies to the fore."
Kathleen Gallagher Cunningham, Professor, Department of Government and Politics, University of Maryland
