Civil disobedience is a public, nonviolent, conscientious yet
political act, contrary to law, carried out to communicate
opposition to law and policy of government. This book presents a
theory of civil disobedience that draws on ideas associated with
deliberative democracy. This book explores the ethics of civil
disobedience in democratic societies. It revisits the theoretical
literature on civil disobedience with a view to taking a fresh look
at long-standing questions: When is civil disobedience a justified
method of political protest? What role, if any, does it play in
democratic politics? Is there a moral right to civil disobedience
in a democratic society? And how should a democratic state respond
to citizens who commit civil disobedience? The answers given to
these questions add up to a coherent and distinctive theory of
civil disobedience, which draws on ideas associated with
deliberative democracy to forge an account that improves upon
prominent approaches to this subject. Civil Disobedience and
Deliberative Democracy will be of interest to students and scholars
of contemporary political theory, political science,
democratization studies, social movement studies, criminology,
legal theory and moral philosophy.
