This book presents a theory of civil disobedience that draws on ideas associated with deliberative democracy.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cp\u003eCivil 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45236293828759,"sku":"9780415827010","price":14551.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780415827010.webp?v=1769212529","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/civil-disobedience-and-deliberative-democracy-9780415827010","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
