Gene Sharp : em inglês | em espanhol
Gene Sharp is known for his extensive writings on nonviolent struggle. In 1983 he founded the Albert Einstein Institution, a non-profit organization devoted to studies and promotion of the use of nonviolent action in conflicts worldwide.
Sharp’s scholarship has influenced resistance organizations around the world. Most recently the protest movement that toppled President Mubarak of Egypt drew extensively on his ideas, as well as the youth movement in Tunisia and the earlier ones in the Eastern European color revolutions that had previously been inspired by Sharp’s work.
Sharp’s handbook “From Dictatorship to Democracy” served as a basis for the campaigns of Serbia’s Otpor, Georgia’s Kmara, Ukraine’s Pora, Kyrgyzstan’s KelKel and Belarus’ Zubr.

Activismo pacífico: O Senhor da (não) Guerra
VER, 23.02.2011
Há mais de 50 anos que escreve manifestos que inspiram activistas de todo o mundo a derrubar regimes ditatoriais através de actos não violentos. Gene Sharp tem 83 anos e, apesar de admirar Gandhi, defende o pacifismo por questões práticas, mais ao estilo de Clausewitz ou Maquiavel. O intelectual norte-americano é mais um pensador que um revolucionário, mas é apontado como o grande inspirador das recentes revoluções na Tunísia e no Egipto. E consta da lista de “inimigos a abater” de um vasto clube de ditadores.

O “guru” dos manifestantes egípcios
Estadão (Radar Global), 17.02.2011
Quando se fala em não-violência o primeiro nome que se vem à cabeça é o Mahatma Gandhi, herói da independência da Índia. Talvez o doutor Martin Luther King, conhecido por sua luta pelos direitos civis nos EUA. Um ou outro pode se lembrar de Henry David Thoreau, ideólogo da desobediência civil. Os manifestantes que derrubaram as ditaduras de Zine Ben Ali e Hosni Mubarak seguiram os ensinamentos de outro homem, no entanto: o cientista político americano Gene Sharp..

How Egypt happened: Gene Sharp and Optor! and years of organizing
Daily Kos, 17.02.2011
Mainstream media (even BBC) are treating the roiling protest in the middle East as if they, like Topsy jumped out of the head of Zeus. As if the people just got to a boiling point. As if there is a natural democrat in all of us that comes through at salient moments especially with the internet available to reflect that surging desire.

Shy U.S. Intellectual Created Playbook Used in a Revolution
The New York Times, 16.02.2011
Halfway around the world from Tahrir Square in Cairo, an aging American intellectual shuffles about his cluttered brick row house in a working-class neighborhood here. His name is Gene Sharp. Stoop-shouldered and white-haired at 83, he grows orchids, has yet to master the Internet and hardly seems like a dangerous man. But for the world’s despots, his ideas can be fatal.

The Albert Einstein Institution: non-violence according to the CIA
Voltaire Network, por Thierry Meyssan, 04.01.2005 | Sobre a Voltaire Network
Non violence as a political action technique can be used for anything. During the 1980s, NATO drew its attention on its possible use to organize the Resistance in Europe after the invasion of the Red Army. It’s been 15 years since CIA began using it to overthrow inflexible governments without provoking international outrage, and its ideological façade is philosopher Gene Sharp’s Albert Einstein Institution. Voltaire Network reveals its amazing activity, from Lithuania to Serbia, Venezuela and Ukraine.
