From Dictatorship to Democracy: A Conceptual Framework for Liberation by Gene Sharp

Power is Derivative: Sharp identifies "pillars of support"—such as police, military, civil service, and media—that sustain oppressive power. Targeting these institutions with nonviolent noncooperation weakens the state's foundation.

Rejection of Violent Resistance: Sharp argues that armed struggle plays to a dictatorship's greatest strength (its military monopoly) while nonviolent discipline erodes the regime's legitimacy and encourages internal defections.

Strategic Planning: Spontaneous uprisings fail easily. Long-term success requires deliberate planning, clear grand strategy, targeted nonviolent tactics, and preparation for post-dictatorship democratic institution-building.
