"An industrial capitalist society that does not recognize ecological limits but only perpetual economic expansion and has the profit motive as driver, will eventually consume and destroy itself."

Nonviolent Social Change
Teresa,
Sorry, I didn't see your question till Meg mentioned it below. I'd recommend this page for a whole list of countries where nonviolent movements have won major victories:
http://www.pbs.org/weta/forcemorepowerful/stories.html
This is the page for the PBS documentary "A Force More Powerful" which tells the stories of these different movements. Along with India and the Civil Rights movement it describes movements in Denmark, Chile, South Africa, Poland, Burma, Czechoslovakia, Philipines, The Ruhr, El Salvador and Argentina.
The most recent example that comes to mind is the overthrow of Slobadan Milosevic in Yugoslavia. In the States we were given the impression that it was spontaneous, but it was actually the result of extensive training and planning. The United States Institute of Peace has an extensive article:
http://www.usip.org/pubs/specialreports/sr72.html
There was also an extensive nonviolent movement in Kosovo that was largely ignored by the international community who instead supported the armed guerrilla movement. See The Nonviolent Movement in Kosovo and Yugoslavia from Mother Jones magazine for more on that.
