• Palgrave Macmillan catalogue

Dr. Mokrosinska is author of  Rethinking Political Obligation. Moral Principles, Communal Ties, Citizenship (Palgrave Macmillan, 2012).

The book presents a fresh analysis of the most influential theories of political obligation and develops a novel approach to this foundational problem of political philosophy. The theory of political obligation developed in the book extends the scope of the contemporary debate on political obligation by arguing that political obligation can be binding even under the jurisdiction of unjust states. The arguments pursued in the book are illustrated with the results of sociological research concerning the reasons that governed people's attitudes to the authoritarian communist regimes in East Europe viz. communist Poland. The book provides the first detailed argument of how a theory of political obligation can apply to subjects of an unjust state.
