To perform an act of civil disobedience under present circumstances is an exercise in uncommon sense. Yet, what is the significance, if any, of such action? As civil disobedience becomes an accepted part of thepolitical culture what role do figures like Mohandas K. Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr. retain for global citizens? Further, what role might civil disobedience play in the politics of representative democraciesas traditional forms of political affiliation diminish and power b1 sleaks b2 s from the nation state? If traditional politics, conducted via party machines has surrendered innovation and vision to the interestsof global corporations, what are the consequences for political life? In Civil Disobedience, Lawrence Quill proposes a fundamental reappraisal of civil disobedience (and civil obedience) in order to address theseand other questions confronting citizens in late modernity.
