Welcome to Crisis in Perception, where we examine the systems shaping our world — one book at a time.

This episode explores Why Civil Resistance Works by Erica Chenoweth and Maria J. Stephan as a systems-level analysis of political power.

The research reveals why large-scale, nonviolent movements are more effective than armed struggle, focusing on participation, legitimacy, and the erosion of regime support.
