SUMMARY:Civil Disobedience Beyond the State III
DESCRIPTION:The Right of Resistance in a Globalised World\n\nLiberal politi
 cal philosophers have traditionally defended a narrow interpretation of 
 civil disobedience\, i.e. a concept that applies solely within the domesti
 c sphere and that is subject to several other restrictive criteria. On thi
 s view\, the ‘civil’ in ‘civil disobedience’ does not only mean 
 ‘non-violent’\, it also means ‘civic’: civil disobedience is seen 
 as a practice that only citizens may permissibly engage in\, offline and w
 ithin the nation state\, addressing their own governments and fellow citiz
 ens.\n\nBut recently\, empirical developments which challenge established 
 theoretical conceptions of civil disobedience have become increasingly sal
 ient. Examples for such developments include transnational social movement
 s which practice civil disobedience to resist against not one\, but severa
 l national jurisdictions or transnational and international institutions\,
  or non-citizens who engage in civil disobedience in spite of the fact tha
 t they are often not seen as legitimate agents of such practices. In addit
 ion\, several influential theoretical accounts of civil disobedience have 
 emerged in the past few years that interpret the concept more widely.\n\nI
 n our international\, interdisciplinary conference series called Civil Di
 sobedience Beyond the State\, we address these theoretical gaps by discuss
 ing contemporary accounts of civil disobedience and their normative implic
 ations in light of empirical challenges such as globalisation and digitali
 sation. After our workshops at the University of Amsterdam (2014) and at t
 he Humboldt Institute for Internet and Society in Berlin (2015)\, we will 
 be hosting a third and final workshop at the University of Oxford (Nuffie
 ld College) on November 25th and 26th\, 2015.\nProgramme\nNovember 25th\
