The book shows that civil disobedience is generally more defensible than private conscientious objection. Part I explores the morality of conviction and conscience. Each of these concepts informs a distinct argument for civil disobedience. The conviction argument begins with the communicative principle of conscientiousness (CPC). According to the CPC, having a conscientious moral conviction means not just acting consistently with our beliefs and judging ourselves and others by a common moral standard. It also means not seeking to evade the consequences of our beliefs and being willing tocommun

This book examines the central questions concerning the duty to obey the law: the meaning of this duty; whether and where it should be acknowledged; and whether and when it should be disregarded. Many contemporary philosophers deny the very existence of this duty, but take a cautious stance towards political disobedience. This 'toothless anarchism', Professor Gans argues, should be discarded in favour of a converse position confirming the existence of a duty to obey the law which can be outweighed by values and principles of political morality. Informed by the Israeli experience of political disobedience motivated by radically differing moral outlooks, the author sets out the principles which should guide our attitude to law and political authority even amidst clashing ideologies and irreconcilable moralities. This book will be of interest to students and scholars of law, philosophy and politics, and anyone concerned with the individual's responsibilities toward his or her political community.

The existing scholarly literature on democratization has found that transitions initiated by nonviolent resistance tend to be more likely to lead to democracy, a critically-important finding in a time when democracy may be backsliding around the world. But there are many prominent exceptions to that trend. So why do some nonviolent transitions end in democracy and others do not? This text systematically examines transitions initiated by nonviolent resistance. In the work, the author argues that two key challenges: maintaining high levels of social mobilization and directing that mobilization away from revolutionary 'maximalist' goals and tactics towards supporting new institutions are the key factors explaining when democracy will follow nonviolent resistance campaigns.

From Eastern Europe to South Africa to the Arab Spring, nonviolent action has proven capable of overthrowing autocratic regimes and bringing about revolutionary political change. How do dissidents come to embrace a nonviolent strategy in the first place? Why do others rule it out in favor of taking up arms? Despite a new wave of attention to the effectiveness and global impact of nonviolent movements, our understanding of their origins and trajectories remains limited. Drawing on cases from Nepal, Syria, India and South Africa, as well as global cross-national data, this book details the processes through which challenger organizations come to embrace or reject civil resistance as a means of capturing state power. It develops a relational theory, showing how the social ties that underpin challenger organizations shape their ability and willingness to attempt regime change using nonviolent means alone.

Quel lien peut-on faire entre la destruction de plants d'OrganismesGénétiquement Modifiés par les militants conduits par José Bové, les actionsdes militants anti-avortement à l'égard du personnel médical des hôpitaux et decliniques, et la célébration illégale du mariage de deux homosexuels en 2004 àla mairie de Bègles ? Selon les combats menés, la désobéissance civile acquiertune signification différente. De plus, si la désobéissance civile est extérieure audroit, parce qu'illégale, l'appel à l'intervention du juge en sa faveur, estnéanmoins constant. Quelle réception juridique espérer alors pour la désobéissance civile,évoquée à des titres si divers? Cette interrogation entraîne le constat que la désobéissance civile,traditionnellement caractérisée par un plaidoyer de culpabilité et parl'acceptation de la condamnation judiciaire, est, désormais, marquée par larevendication de faits justificatifs, fondés sur l'idéologie des droits de l'homme,en droits américain, européen et français. Ce constat conduit à confronter laconception du juge qui sous-tend les actions des auteurs de désobéissancecivile, aux solutions que leur apporte la pratique judiciaire. Dès lors, prenantappui sur une comparaison des traditions juridiques américaines et françaises,cet ouvrage a pour objet l'étude de la notion de désobéissance civile du point devue juridique, un point de vue peu développé jusqu'à présent.L'analyse, dans la première partie, de l'obligation juridique du juge face àla désobéissance civile, et, dans la seconde partie, du discours judiciaire adoptéface à celle-ci, nourrit le débat sur le sens et la portée, en droit, de ladésobéissance civile
