以上模式觸動了北京最敏感的神經,自此北京開始了連串以「反顏色革命」為目標的舉措,「不行西方模式」、「維穩」等成了指導思想,社科院更推出《顏色革命的警告》紀錄片,作為高級官員和公安的教材。就此筆者的台灣同僚、政治大學國際關係學者陳至潔的論文〈中國對顏色革命做出的反應:積極進行的調式性威權主義〉有詳細介紹,內裏也提及香港,值得一讀。os.tvboxnow.com9 {0 \9 W- \2 n1 D0 J/ v" d

MOSCOW – Nonviolent revolutions do not always remain nonviolent, as the examples of uprisings in Egypt,Libya, and Syria in the Arab Spring have shown. But peaceful movements for regime change often do succeed. They have toppled illegitimate rulers, as with the post-Soviet“color revolutions” in Georgia and Ukraine,and ended apartheid in South Africa,for example, or, before that, the Jim Crow system in the American South.Non-violent movements broke British rule in India and Malawi, and brought down authoritarian regimes in Chile,the Philippines,and Portugal.公仔箱論壇: U* ~9 Z" i* M5 T

Nor do short-term windows of opportunity play a decisive role: no serious economic crisis was needed for Chileans to oust General Augusto Pinochet, and Panama’s Manuel Noriega survived a massive nonviolent protest movement, despite crippling economic problems and divisions within the ruling elite. !

Recent research by the sociologists Erica Chenoweth, Maria J. Stephan, and Sharon Erickson Nepstad shows that one factor more than any other determines whether nonviolent struggles succeed: protesters’ decision to adopt nonviolence itself. Indeed, Chenoweth and Stephan have shown that peaceful protests are more than twice as likely as violent confrontation to bring about complete or partial regime change. , \8 v( g8 ^7 C8 K, `$ b; z4 QTVBNOW 含有熱門話題,最新最快電視,軟體,遊戲,電影,動漫及日常生活及興趣交流等資訊。os.tvboxnow.com5 S$ d! }& C- I.

But the outcome of civil resistance also depends on the precise methods used. Challenging the regime’s legitimacy and withholding skills and material resources from it are important, as is creating free spaces for dissent and maintaining the movement’s unity and clarity of purpose. Most importantly, as Nepstad has shown, a protest movement aimed at regime change needs to win over critical parts of the police and armed forces. ) `8 o7 K0 V.

Conversely, a government that secures the unconditional loyalty of its troops will be able to crush even the most sustained popular protests. Yet it can do so only at the cost of much bloodshed, and a half-hearted or ineffectual crackdown makes the protesters’ triumph much more likely. 3 `4 s* D' o( ^1 Q1 H* G+ |- kos.tvboxnow.com . Q( D, K- {3 hGiven this, what are the prospects for Russia’s current protest movement? So far, it has gotten many things right. It has focused on a single demand: fair elections. It has united liberals, communists,nationalists, and otherwise apolitical citizens in a broad coalition, despite these groups’ mutual disdain and a colossal potential for rifts.tvb now,tvbnow,bttvb9 y; `/ O, Z+ V# w
( p0 z! u3 ?6 i$ C4 D公仔箱論壇Like the 2000 Serbian uprising against Slobodan Milošević, the Russian movement has produced an astonishing upsurge in grassroots creativity and political wit. A good example is the recent “nano-protest” in the Siberian city of Barnaul, where police officers were forced to write up a report on a group of Lego figures brandishing slogans. These toy protests have now spread to other cities.tvb now,tvbnow,bttvb. o E! t2 R8 H( h
To circumvent biased reporting on state television and bridge the huge distances between Russian cities, the protesters have used decentralized means of communication such as social networks. High-speed Internet connections have penetrated remote corners of Russia in recent years, and blogging services such as LiveJournal have been prominent for a decade. Thus, the Internet plays a more important role than it did in Iran’s abortive Green Revolution or during the Arab Spring.公仔箱論壇 Y! e5 v/ q, z0 t0 T! k
2 Y# Y' q, T' |3 _/ ?$ y j) Mos.tvboxnow.comNonetheless, Russia’s size could become a liability for the protesters if things come to a head and,say, Putin refuses to accept a defeat in the March election. While there have been regular protests in cities from Stravropol in the south to Khabarovsk in the Far East, only Moscow and Saint Petersburg have seen true mass demonstrations. As in Serbiain 2000 or Ukraine in 2004, where demonstrations played out mainly in the capital cities, Russia’s metropolises have long been hotbeds of dissent. Unlike Serbia and Ukraine,however, provincial protesters would be unable to come to the rescue in case of a showdown. 9 M6 l4 b' {( Q1 gTVBNOW 含有熱門話題,最新最快電視,軟體,遊戲,電影,動漫及日常生活及興趣交流等資訊。0 G1 O& r; y0 F6 A/ n
In the Philippines in 1986, Ferdinand Marcos’s tanks were stopped by nuns and small children. In the fall of 1989, East German soldiers joined their fellow citizens in the protests that brought down the Berlin Wall. But, during the same year in China,protesters in Beijing were crushed by troops from Inner Mongolia who didn’t understand Mandarin and had no sympathy for big-city dwellers.os.tvboxnow.com/ t9 X# y- A% G9 ~1 J

While army units or riot squads (OMON) stationed in Moscow are too disgruntled by the recent police and military reforms to participate in a bloody clampdown, special-operations forces from the provinces, staffed with veterans of the Chechen war, might cherish the excitement of sticking it to the Moscow fat cats. Likewise, army officers from poorer regions are more grateful for the salary hike that Putin’s United Russia party announced, with much fanfare, shortly before the recent Duma election. 0 T- S+ y, ~7 [/ }3 T; i1 F! t8 ]- {" ]/ e8 d3 ~) y
But, while some parts of the security apparatus might support an initial crackdown, violent repression would be difficult to sustain. That means that Putin would be well advised to heed the protesters’ demands and call new and fair parliamentary elections. If he opts for violent confrontation, the short-term outcome will be decided by the loyalty of the armed forces. His long-term fate, however, would be much grimmer.os.tvboxnow.com5 _& j) l V3 g6 ? . p4 U. H. V* I, v公仔箱論壇0 Z1 H: t8 g& y" u" i
