Abstract

Abstract Antiwar activism stands for civil engagement expressing opposition to war and related military issues, geared to foster change on the political level. Dissent over states' military campaigns results from diverging peace traditions and philosophies, predominantly associated with the political left (e.g., pacifism, liberalism, feminism, antimilitarism, or anti‐imperialism). The recent history of global antiwar activism tends to be linked to the United States' post‐World War II record of wars and military interventions. It reached an early peak in the anti‐Vietnam War protests and the antinuclear campaigns during the Cold War, and later during the “no‐blood‐for‐oil” campaigns associated with the Second Gulf War and worldwide opposition to the post‐“9/11” US‐led War on Terror.
