Description
What are the boundaries of acceptable protest? To what extent, if any, is it legitimate to use violence in pursuit of political goals? In answer to these and other questions a distinguished group of philosophers focus on terrorism, secession, sovereignty and civil disobedience.Terrorism, Protest and Power analyses different definitions of terrorism and the often confused analogies with 'civil disobedience', 'state violence' and warfare. Topics covered include the nature and justification of terrorism, the element of violence in terrorism, freedom of expression, nuclear power and civil disobedience, anarchism and revolution, the territorial dimension of power and the law of sovereignty.
