Abstract

The collective mobilization and the cycle of protests that finally weaken and break the socialist model inthe German Democratic Republic on November 9 of 1989, has been widely analyzed from the sociology ofsocial movements. However, these studies have focused on reinforcing and inhibitors links betweenmigration (exit) and protest (voice) (Hirschman, 1993; Pfaff, 2003, 2006). Few studies have noted thedynamics of nonviolent protests. This research seeks to explore the contentious actions that occurred inthe GDR in 1989, from the nonviolent struggle theory of sociologist and political scientist GeneSharp (1973, 1985), and the possible complementarity of this analytical model would has with themigration thesis proposed by Hirschman (exit).
