englischShow your opponent trust! Do not take advantage of your opponent’s weaknesses!

How does that work, you may well ask? Indeed, these are but two of 25 carefully selected guiding principles that the two Norwegian authors Johan Galtung and Arne Næss gleaned from Gandhi’s writings in 1955. They account for the successes Gandhi had in South Africa and India and inspired Martin Luther King, Nelson Mandela and, for example, Andreas Buro, who kept a brief synopsis of the Satyagraha Norms in his jacket pocket during all of his peace missions.

Galtung, the founder of Peace and Conflict Research, wrote his first eminent work in prison as a conscientious objector in collaboration with the great philosopher Næss, who was 18 years his senior. This book had three print runs in Norway but was never translated and so has met with no response from German researchers on non-violence up to now.

This first German edition focuses on the key chapters of the original work from 1955, while also offering an overview of it in its entirety.
