WELCOME TO THE ALBERT EINSTEIN INSTITUTION
The Albert Einstein Institution is a nonprofit organization advancing the study and use of strategic nonviolent action in conflicts throughout the world.
We are committed to the defense of freedom, democracy, and the reduction of political violence through the use of nonviolent action.
Our goals are to understand the dynamics of nonviolent action in conflicts, to explore its policy potential, and to communicate this through print and other media, translations, conferences, consultations, and workshops.
The Albert Einstein Institution and Senior Scholar, Gene Sharp, have recently come under attack by certain writers and in speeches by President Hugo Chavez of Venezuela. Click here to read responses to these attacks.
