van der Burg on Civil Disobedience

By Lawrence Solum

ADVERTISEMENTS
Wibren van der Burg (Erasmus University Rotterdam- School of Law) has posted The Myth of Civil Disobedience on SSRN. Here is the abstract:
    This paper critiques the 'ruling' Rawlsian theory of civil disobedience. The theory is rejected because of its irrelevant and/or unsound assumption of a 'social contract'. Instead, an approach must be taken which does not assume one general political obligation. A more appropriate model is one which asserts the (possibility) and existence of various conditional reasons for obedience. Precisely these various reasons are critically analysed in this paper. In a final section this alternate approach is applied to disobedience performed by government officials and politicians.
