It focuses on the political landscape characterizing the young people’s engagement in non-violent action in the Palestinian Occupied Territories. The book explores the crucial challenges and dilemmas affecting religious civil society in Nigeria, where the power of three religious identities is highly polarized. It provides the impact of political and economic influence exercised by national and international actors on Jordan. The book analyzes the struggle of civil society by tracing the historical political contribution of labour unions in Niger.
