Climate activists are jailed for blocking roads. Students are denounced for setting up encampments. Antiracist demonstrators are publicly condemned as extremists. At a time marked by climate collapse, genocidal wars and widening inequality, those who interrupt business as usual are increasingly criminalized.
The Responsibility to Disrupt examines controversies surrounding political protest and asks what the backlash against disruption reveals about democracy today. Drawing on Hannah Arendt’s reflections on political questioning, this book engages classic defenders of order such as Niccoló Machiavelli and Thomas Hobbes alongside contemporary thinkers including Angela Davis, Clarissa Hayward, and Jacques Rancière.
Through political theory and real-world cases, the book explores nonviolent disruption as a shared democratic practice and invites readers to consider what a genuinely democratic response to protest might entail.

Hardcover. Etat : new. Hardcover. Protests against human rights violations, austerity and genocide are frequently claimed to be undemocratic and violent. The Responsibility to Disrupt argues that disruption is not only necessary for democracy, but a responsibility of democratic citizens, particularly when formal institutions fail to address systemic injustices. With a focus on disruptive activism in democratic contexts, the book examines the role of disruption through case studies including Extinction Rebellion, pro-Palestine university campus protests and the activities of far-right activist groups. It approaches the ethical question of disruption from three angles: a citizen responsibility, a situated practice and a political act that always requires a specific justification. Ultimately, the book argues that the legitimacy of disruption is rarely, if ever, uncontestable: the point is not to be right, but to spark reflection. This item is printed on demand.
