Gene Sharp just won't go away

From Joakim from Sweden: "For your information, the current issue of Ordfront Magasin, a progressive Swedish publication, contains an interview with the director of The Albert Einstein Foundation about their organization and the founder Gene Sharp. He was awarded The Right Livelihood Award in Stockholm in December 2012. According to the interview the uprisings in the Middle East 2011 has radically increased the demand for the foundations publications, as well as acknowledged non-violent struggle as a method. Furthermore, Egypt, Syria and Libya has stressed the need for high quality analysis of methods of non-violent struggle (in other words, the kind of publications Albert Einstein Foundation produces)."
