Social Defense: Social Change
Brian Martin
The idea of social defense--namely of abolishing military forces and relying in their stead on nonviolent struggles by the general population--is extremely radical. Yet seldom before have the many radical implications of social defense been outlined.
Social Defence, Social Change argues for social defense as a grassroots initiative linked to challenges to oppressive structures in society, such as patriarchy, police, and the state. Filled with examples from Finland to Fiji, the book also provides a provocative survey of radical alternatives in politics and economics.
Social defense is not just a defense option. It is a direction for action that should be known to all those who seek a society without oppression, inequality, or violence.
