Abstract
‘Color revolutions: The Philippines, Eastern Europe and the USSR, and Ukraine’ shows that several factors have improved the prospects for nonviolent resistance to overturn regimes: global norms have moved strongly in the direction of requiring elections for regimes to claim legitimacy; new mass media have made it easier for the opposition to acquire and disseminate evidence of regime abuses; the rise of an international network of activists to provide training in nonviolent resistance methods; and the end of the Cold War. Sometimes called “Democratic” or “electoral” revolutions they are more commonly called “color revolutions” after the symbols adopted by the opposition in these events, such as the yellow ribbons worn in the Philippines and the orange ones in Ukraine.
