First published in 1990. The individual's obligation to obey the
law, the state and the government is a fundamental part of
contemporary political theory. The contributors to this volume,
drawn from a variety of disciplines including philosophy, political
science and law, take a fresh look at the dilemmas of political
obligation. They discuss the extent to which we should allow the
need for conformity to override individual liberties, and ask
whether individualism is indeed feasible without a highly developed
sense of the 'public interest' or the 'common good'. The contrast
between individualism and communitarianism is examined throughout
the book. The contributors also look at the various means through
which the state can coerce or persuade the individual to be
obedient. The emphasis throughout this collection is on the
substantive problems themselves, rather than on the way these
issues have been addressed in the history of political thought. The
book offers a number of different perspectives on political
obligation, and will be valuable to students of moral, political,
social and legal philosophy.

During the Allied victory celebrations there were few who chose to
raise a glass to the staff. The high cost of casualties endured by
the British army tarnished the reputation of the military planners,
which has yet to recover. This book examines the work and
development of the staff of the British army during the First World
War and its critical role in the military leadership team. Their
effectiveness was germane to the outcome of events in the front
line but not enough consideration has been paid to this level of
command and control, which has largely been overshadowed by the
debate over generalship. This has painted an incomplete picture of
the command function. Characterised as arrogant, remote and out of
touch with the realities of the front line, the staff have been
held responsible for the mismanagement of the war effort and
profligate loss of lives in futile offensives. This book takes a
different view. By using their letters and diaries it reveals fresh
insights into their experience of the war. It shows that the staff
made frequent visits to the front line and were no strangers to
combat or hostile fire. Their work is also compared with their
counterparts in the French and German armies, highlighting
differences in practice and approach. In so doing, this study
throws new light upon the characteristics, careers and working
lives of these officers, investigating the ways in which they both
embraced and resisted change. This offers evidence both for those
who wish to exonerate the British command system on the basis of
the learning process but also for those critical of its
performance, thus advancing understanding of British military
history in the First World War.

An incisive portrait of how the new Black politics can forge a
future centered on collective action, community, and care When
#BlackLivesMatter emerged in 2013, it animated the most
consequential Black-led mobilization since the civil rights and
Black power era. Today, the hashtag turned rallying cry is but one
expression of a radical reorientation toward Black politics,
protest, and political thought. To Build a Black Future examines
the spirit and significance of this insurgency, offering a
revelatory account of a new political culture—responsive to pain,
suffused with joy, and premised on care—emerging from the
centuries-long arc of Black rebellion, a tradition that traces back
to the Black slave. Drawing on his own experiences as an activist
and organizer, Christopher Paul Harris takes readers inside the
Movement for Black Lives (M4BL) to chart the propulsive trajectory
of Black politics and thought from the Middle Passage to the
present historical moment. Carefully attending to the social forces
that produce Black struggle and the contradictions that arise
within it, Harris illustrates how M4BL gives voice to an
abolitionist praxis that bridges the past, present, and future,
outlining a political project at once directed inward to the Black
community while issuing an outward challenge to the world.
Essential reading for the age of #BlackLivesMatter, this visionary
and provocative book reveals how the radical politics of joy, pain,
and care, in sharp contrast to liberal political thought, can build
a Black future that transcends ideology and pushes the boundaries
of our political imagination.
