Do I have special obligations to conform to the laws of my own country and if so, why? In what sense, if any, must I fight in wars in which my country is engaged, if ordered to do so, or suffer the penalty for law breaking--including the death penalty? Gilbert's accessible book offers a provocative and compelling case in favor of citizens' obligations to the state, while examining how these can be squared with self-interest and other competing considerations.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"OUP Oxford","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47613119856791,"sku":"9780199274956","price":8621.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780199274956.webp?v=1775082770","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/a-theory-of-political-obligation-membership-commitment-and-the-bonds-of-society-9780199274956","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
