Civil Disobedience synopsis

What is civil disobedience? Although Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther Kingg have helped to highlight the idea so far, it is still unclear today how best to understand civil disobedience. Why many activists and thinkers embraced it, and what ends? Is civil disobedience still relevant to politics in today's interdependent world? Is it reasonable, for example, to describe the works of Edward Snowden, or those carried out by recent world movements such as "occupied", which fall under this heading? If so, how should it adapt to respond to the challenges of digital transformation, globalization and the rise of populist authoritarianism in the West? In this elegantly written introductory text, William Sherman systematically analyzes the most important interpretations of civil disobedience. Based on the striking differences between religious, liberal, democratic and radical views, it appears that the fundamental common denominators remain. Against those who fall into the idea of ​​civil disobedience or are seen as obsolete, Sherman succeeds in saving his central elements.

He argues that the concept of civil disobedience remains a central tool for anyone who hopes to bring about political and social change.
