Opis

This book (in Persian) aims to define a new manifestation of civil protests that is called 'Civil Misobedience.' Civil misobedience has features in common with civil disobedience, but lacks others and is a different type of civil protest. This kind of protest mostly emerges in countries under authoritarian regimes where public and overtly disobedient civil action can lead to severe punishments. The author elaborates on the definition and characteristics of civil misobedience in light of Iranian protest styles, providing several examples of these from the Iranian context. The book includes a section on 'Civil Disobedience' in which the definitions and attributes of civil disobedience are introduced and compared according to nine prominent scholars and civil activists, namely David Henry Thoreau, Leo Tolstoy, Mahatma Gandhi, Martin Luther King, Hannah Arendt, John Rawls, Jurgen Habermas, Ronald Dworkin and Nelson Mandela. The book has been endorsed and recommended by distinguished Iranian figures such as Nobel Peace Prize laureate Shirin Ebadi, Nasrin Sotoudeh, a human rights lawyer and co-winner of the Sakharov Prize, and Reza Alijani, a Journalist of the Year laureate by Reporters Without Borders."
