), a Senior Advisor with the International Center on Nonviolent Conflict (ICNC), seeks your input. She is conducting an international research/book project to document and study such civic initiatives, in order to identify general lessons learned and good practices. Corruption may be the sole focus, or it may be linked to poverty, budgets/spending, freedom of information, state service provision, governance, democracy, organized crime, violence, human rights, environmental destruction, or other concerns. The focus is on what people–organized together, exerting their collective power–are doing to fight corruption either at the local or national levels. The project is examining the skills, strategies, objectives, and demands of nonviolent civic campaigns and movements, rather than the phenomenon of corruption itself, or the conditions under which it occurs. This project is made possible through a grant from the United States Institute of Peace and support from ICNC. Please note, this is not a call for proposals, papers or researchers.
