It then develops a theory of political obligation in an ideal democracy. After discussing various forms of disobedience  the author wonders to what extent systems of government approximate to this ideal and why Western democracies fall short of it. The book concludes with a brief case the development of disobedience in Northern Ireland.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45275393065013,"sku":"ByrdShop_0195198034","price":97.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780195198034.jpg?v=1780505877","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/democracy-disobedience-9780195198034","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
