Otpor, Canvas and Terrorism

[We highly recommend that readers interested in this matter familiarize themselves with our prior articles on this most important subject. The terms ‘Gene Sharp’ and ‘Otpor’ can be entered into the search bar of this site, located on the upper right hand corner of this page – CSS Editor]

he Otpor model served well in Serbia, and was perfected and developed further so it could be used in more than thirty countries.

Last month the cabinet of prince Bin Zayed, the government of United Arab Emirates, in accordance to the federal anti terrorist law, published a list of terrorist organizations to arise awareness in media and society about their work and the danger that comes from them.

Russia and Turkey’s Gas Deal can Save Europe and the World

The Future Of Eurasia: Prolegomena for the Geopolitical Integration of the Continent

The beginning of the 21st century has not been as rosy as it was described by futurologists and planned by politicians: a global financial crisis, problems within the Eurozone, the “swamp” for American troops in Iraq and Afghanistan, armed conflicts in Central Europe, North Africa and the Middle East, a series of color revolutions in the post-Soviet space, and riots in the capitals of Western Europe.

It involves mass psychology, marketing and advertising, sociology, ideology, and a range of other fields. This piece should be understood as a schematic with explanatory annotations and dissection of particular mechanisms. We strongly recommend this to be read alongside several previous pieces which explore the history, figures involved in developing the theory, and real-world application in the following pieces featured here at CSS –
