Abstract: This article reviews the most important literature, ranging from the work of Henry David Thoreau to Erica Chenoweth. The literature on civil resistance ranges from the study of the phenomena of mass mobilization during the nineteenth century crossed by the labor movement, abolitionists, suffragists and pacifists, to the struggle led by Gandhi in South Africa and India. Gandhi is the inventor of satyagraha, the force f the soul, that is, civil resistance as a political and spiritual struggle. The satyagraha generates many studies and efforts to understand its potential. In the 70s, the figure of the researcher Gene Sharp opened the functionalist and applied approach to civil resistance. After the Cold War the “resistance studies” with a clear strategic and pragmatic vision of resistance are extended.
