Political Obligations provides a full defense of a theory of
political obligation based on the principle of fairness (or fair
play), which is widely viewed as the strongest theory of obligation
currently available. The work responds to the most important
objections to the principle of fairness, and extends a theory based
on fairness into a developed 'multiple principle' theory of
obligation. In order to establish the need for such a theory,
Political Obligations criticizes alternative theories of obligation
based on a natural duty of justice and 'reformist' consent, and
critically examines the non-state theories of libertarian and
philosophical anarchists. The work breaks new ground by providing
the first in-depth study of popular attitudes towards political
obligations and how the state itself views them. The attitudes of
ordinary citizens are explored through small focus groups, while
the 'self image of the state' in regard to the obligations of its
citizens is studied through examination of judicial decisions in
three different democratic countries.
