Bivši otporaš i aktuelni izvršni direktor Centra za primenjenu nenasilnu akciju (CANVAS) Srđa Popović, našao se u vrhu liste 100 globalnih mislilaca čije ideje i javno i profesionalno delovanje, po oceni prestižnog američkog političkog magazina „Forin polisi“, utiču na svetsku javnu i društvenu scenu.
Ovo je prvi put da se na ovakvoj listi nađe jedna ličnost iz Srbije, a Popović je zajedno sa najistaknutijim aktivistima nedavnih pobuna u arapskim zemljama, svrstan u vrh liste sa ličnostima iz celog sveta, koje su, kako navodi ovaj časopis, „obeležile globalno tržište ideja u 2011. godini“.

Jedan od osnivača „Otpora” i tvorac slogana „Gotov je” i „Vreme je”, Srđa Popović, nedavno je dobio dva priznanja. Zbog konsultantskih usluga koje je pružao sadašnjem predsedniku Maldiva Mohamedu Našidu, Popović je na korišćenje dobio, ni manje ni više, nego – rajsko ostrvo.
Osim parčeta maldivske teritorije u jednom od mondenskih turističkih centara, tridesetosmogodišnji Beograđanin, sa svedočanstvom Pete beogradske i diplomom Biološkog fakulteta u Beogradu, našao se u ekipi s Barakom Obamom, Angelom Merkel, Nikolom Sarkozijem, palestinskim disidentom Mustafom Bargutijem i jednim od najbogatijih ljudi sveta, Bilom Gejtsom. Srđa je, naime, plasiran pri vrhu liste 100 globalnih mislilaca, čije ideje i javno i profesionalno delovanje, po oceni „Forin polisa”, utiču na svetsku.

Srđa Popović, jedan od osnivača "Otpora", našao se na listi 100 "Globalnih mislilaca" magazina "Forin polisi", zbog angažovanja u "Arapskom proleću". To je priznanje srpskoj nenasilnoj revoluciji kao brendu, ocenjuje Popović.
Jedan od najuglednih američkih spoljnopolitičkih magazina, Forin polisi treću godinu za redom objavljuje listu takozvanih "Globalnih mislilaca", ljudi koji su svojim idejama ili radom doprineli promenama u svetu. Ove godine, na listi se našao i jedan od osnivača pokreta "Otpor" u Srbiji, Srđa Popović.

People are rarely swayed by information alone. If they were, the cigarette industry would have collapsed when the first Surgeon General's report on smoking came out in 1964, and fossil fuels would have been phased out in 1989, when Congress was first alerted to the threat of global warming. As Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Tina Rosenberg writes in her recently released book Join the Club, "No amount of information can budge us when we refuse to be budged. The catalog of justifications for destructive behaviors is a tribute to human ingenuity."

Veterans of the uprising in Serbia, which overthrew President Slobodan Milosevic, are running workshops for opposition groups around the world on how to bring down a dictator.
On the outskirts of new Belgrade - among Communist-era tower blocks - lies the anonymous-looking office the Centre for Applied Nonviolent Action and Strategies [CANVAS]. It teaches the science behind forced regime change.
Inside, Srja Popovic runs a School of Revolution.

On October 3rd, protesters at Occupy Wall Street failed to march. Instead they clumsily lurched. With white painted faces, glazed looks and dollar bills hanging out of some mouths, protesters chanted “I smell money, I smell money…” It was Corporate Zombie Day. Scenes like this and the sight of Guy Fawkes masks, clown suits, drumming circles and surrealistic posters all over the country have left many commentators scratching their heads. Is this protest or carnival? Maybe we should tell them. There’s been a sea change in the protest industry.

It looked spontaneous. Thousands of people poured into Tahrir Square in Cairo on Jan. 25. Was it an instinctive social surge in a country with a repressive regime or a carefully planned resistance movement that chose a strategic time? In more than a dozen countries people have taken to the streets to demand political and social reform. In Egypt, the "18 days of revolt" -- as a nonviolentmovement for social change -- has been years in the planning.
Nonviolence is not new to Egypt. The 1919 campaign for independence from Britain was one of massive nonviolent civil resistance. On April 6, 1919, Mohandas Gandhi called for the first all-India day of nonviolent civil disobedience. Aware of Gandhi's mass protests in India and earlier in South Africa, 10,000 Egyptians marched on Cairo's palace in defiance of British martial law. Women leaders in traditional veils led hundreds of women in open opposition to British occupation. Activists organized labor strikes and boycotts of British commodities, and delivered thousands of petitions to foreign embassies demanding support for the nationalist movement. When organizers chose both the Christian cross and the Muslim crescent as the movement’s symbol, thousands more joined the cause, which won limited independence for Egypt. While violence (mostly from the British) occurred, the nationalist movement was predominantly nonviolent.
