Boycott, Divest, Sanction, Resist? Voices from Palestine, South Africa and Ireland

In recent years the global justice movement has exploded with boycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS) actions in solidarity with the Palestinian people. But can BDS affect real change? Is any non-violent resistance movement doomed to fail in a world where state violence is so regularly used against the oppressed? What impact does international solidarity have on national liberation struggles?
