I'm going to talk about four different levels of civil response against violence, from weakest to strongest.

It is like jiu jitsu the weaker adversary wins by leveraging the power of the stronger against itself.

The World Trade Organization treaty based organization, entirely treaty based, and yet, powerful enough to hold even the most powerful, the United States, to account if necessary.

Austerity should be eased, particularly in the fiscally stronger core economies, and substantial resources should be devoted to boosting youth employment and investment in small and medium size firms in the over indebted countries.

Moreover, as parties govern longer, their strongest personalities tend to be replaced by weaker ones. Civic Platform contested this election after replacing Tusk with Ewa Kopacz, and has had the same problem with a number of other substitutions.

At TEDIndia, Mallika Sarabhai, a dancer actor politician, tells a transformative story in dance and argues that the arts may be the most powerful way to effect change, whether political, social or personal.

It works not by sheer destruction, but rather by dramatizing atrocious acts against civilians. It is like jiu jitsu the weaker adversary wins by leveraging the power of the stronger against itself.
