Los estudios sobre la resistencia no violenta nos han enseñado mucho sobre lo que hace que la no violencia sea exitosa, enfatizando la importancia de las circunstancias y las estrategias locales. No obstante, se ha prestado poca atención al efecto de los vínculos con las organizaciones internacionales sobre la no violencia, es decir, a cómo la integración de los actores locales en las redes globales da forma a la movilización no violenta. En este artículo, se aplica un marco de análisis de la sociedad mundial con el objetivo de comprender los factores transnacionales que configuran la movilización local no violenta. A través de modelos globales e históricos que exploran factores políticos, económicos y culturales, se encuentra que: en primer lugar, la integración global y la estructura del Estado-nación son un factor importante y significativo para moldear el surgimiento de movimientos no violentos; en segundo lugar, la integración en las redes de la sociedad civil global aumenta significativamente la probabilidad de resistencia no violenta a gran escala; en tercer lugar, los vínculos con una red especializada de organizaciones no violentas configuran significativamente la elección de la no violencia en lugar de los medios violentos de resistencia.

N2 - Studies of nonviolence have taught us much about what makes nonviolence successful, emphasizing the importance of local circumstance and strategy. Little attention has been given to the effect of ties with international organizations on nonviolence: that is, how the embeddedness of local actors in global networks shapes nonviolent mobilization. In this article, a world society framework is applied with the objective of understanding the transnational factors shaping local nonviolent mobilization. Through global and historical models exploring political, economic, and cultural factors, it is found that: first, the global integration and structure of the nation-state is an important and significant factor in shaping the emergence of nonviolent movements; second, integration into global civil society networks significantly increases the likelihood for large-scale nonviolent resistance; and third, ties to a specialized network of nonviolent organizations significantly shape the path toward nonviolence over violent means of resistance.
