title = "The concept and practises of civil disobedience",
abstract = "The purpose of this chapter is, in its first part, to introduce the concept of civil disobedience, outline a mainstream (Rawlsian) theoretical description of civil disobedience, and examine how it can be justified within the wider context of the Western tradition of representative democracy. The last part of the text introduces paradoxes or tensions that may occur when applying theory to practice. In all, the chapter offers an introduction to the theories and empirical examples of civil disobedience, and hence, sets up the scene for the later chapters of this book.",
