UCLA Electronic Theses and Dissertations UCLA UCLA Electronic Theses and Dissertations Title Between Anarchy and Leviathan: A Return to Voluntarist Political Obligation Permalink https://escholarship.org/uc/item/8pj296m6 Author Hallock, Emily Rachel Publication Date 2013 Peer reviewed|Thesis/dissertation eScholarship.org Powered by the California Digital Library University of California UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Between Anarchy and Leviathan: A Return to Voluntarist Political Obligation A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science by Emily Rachel Hallock 2013 © Copyright by Emily Rachel Hallock 2013 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Between Anarchy and Leviathan: A Return to Voluntarist Political Obligation by Emily Rachel Hallock Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science University of California, Los Angeles, 2013 Professor Carole Pateman, Chair No defense of the liberal-democratic state can do without political obligation, yet existing theories cannot provide a successful account of political obligation. Existing accounts of obligation cannot parry critiques from rival theories, nor refute philosophical anarchists’ formidable attack on obligation. To move discussion of obligation forward, this dissertation offers an alternative solution to what George Klosko has called the ‘voluntarist paradox’ of liberal-democratic political obligation. While liberal ideas about the individual require that any obligation to obey be assumed through a voluntary act, individuals do not voluntarily assume obligations frequently enough to support legitimacy claims. In response to this paradox, most scholars deploy non-voluntary justifications for a general obligation to obey, while philosophical anarchists deny that such an obligation exists at all. In contrast, I argue that overcoming the voluntarist paradox requires a radically different view of the aims and scope of political obligation. While most theories of political obligation begin with a general requirement to obey ii and look for its source, my account begins with voluntary action, and asks what requirements it can yield. I show that the conventional goal of political obligation – a general, comprehensive requirement to obey – generates the impasse between obligation’s proponents and philosophical anarchists, inhibits analysis of democratic self-government, and inaccurately depicts obedience and law. Instead, I define political obligation as a voluntarily-assumed ‘binding requirement to take political action,’ a broader category that also includes non-voluntary duties. Voluntarist obligation, I show, is incompatible with a general, comprehensive requirement to obey the law because it is law. Instead, much of the time, non-voluntary duty grounds requirements to obey the law, and voluntarist political obligation concerns the whole variety of political actions one can voluntarily undertake a requirement to perform. Political obligation is a voluntarist practice that expresses one’s freedom to create, shape, and revise the rules of the political game, and of social institutions more generally. A truly voluntarist theory of political obligation lets us understand and critique enduring yet often overlooked features of liberal-democratic politics because it goes beyond state-imposed requirements, and looks to the individual actions that generate those requirements. In liberal democracies, the voluntary acts of state agents develop, interpret, and enforce laws and policy, and individuals affect the state by voluntarily exercising their rights and taking political action. Because my account of political obligation connects voluntarily-assumed requirements to the conditions of political self-determination, it provides a stronger foundation for liberal democracy, and allows more accurate analysis of normative demands on political actors. iii The dissertation of Emily Rachel Hallock is approved.

  • Planting Parliaments in Eurasia, 1850–1950
    Planting Parliaments in Eurasia, 1850–1950 Parliaments are often seen as Western European and North American institutions and their establishment in other parts of the world as a derivative and mostly defec- tive process. This book challenges such Eurocentric visions by retracing the evo- lution of modern institutions of collective decision-making in Eurasia. Breaching the divide between different area studies, the book provides nine case studies cov- ering the area between the eastern edge of Asia and Eastern Europe, including the former Russian, Ottoman, Qing, and Japanese Empires as well as their succes- sor states. In particular, it explores the appeals to concepts of parliamentarism, deliberative decision-making, and constitutionalism; historical practices related to parliamentarism; and political mythologies across Eurasia. It focuses on the historical and “reestablished” institutions of decision-making, which consciously hark back to indigenous traditions and adapt them to the changing circumstances in imperial and postimperial contexts. Thereby, the book explains how represent- ative institutions were needed for the establishment of modernized empires or postimperial states but at the same time offered a connection to the past.

  • Democratic Theory and the Commons: Conceptualizing the Relationship Between Deliberation, Publics, and the Internet
    DEMOCRATIC THEORY AND THE COMMONS: CONCEPTUALIZING THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN DELIBERATION, PUBLICS, AND THE INTERNET by SPENCER MCKAY B.Soc.Sc, University of Ottawa, 2012 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE AND POSTDOCTORAL STUDIES (Political Science) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) August 2013 © Spencer McKay, 2013 Abstract I aim to achieve two complementary goals in this paper. The first is to provide a corrective to the unfortunate tendency to insist that the internet’s natural form is a public that underwrites democracy. Rather, the structure of the internet is contingent and any publicness should be understood as enabled by its structural features as a commons. The second goal is a step towards addressing the relative dearth of explicit theorizing about the commons in political science. I adopt a critical approach to understanding technology to make clear that the internet may transform persons and institutions in ways that support democratic properties, but there is a need to challenge common assumptions that any democratic effects of the internet are inherent or directly caused. Many theories of online politics miss the fact that the internet’s structural features suggest that it is better understood as a commons — that is, vulnerable to enclosure and spoilage — than as a public or a democracy. The technological developments of the internet upset the traditional allocative roles of states and markets in reference to physical goods, intangible goods, and the means of production. The internet enables an increase in the scope and scale of the commons paradigm such that the problem of democracy online seems not to be one of too much participation, but too little.

    Who May Fight Just Wars? Right Authority for States and Non-States A Dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at George Mason University by Oren J. Litwin Master of Arts George Mason University, 2010 Bachelor of Arts Yeshiva University, 2006 Director: Char R. Miller, Professor Department of Political Science Fall Semester 2014 George Mason University Fairfax, VA Copyright © 2014 by Oren J. Litwin. All rights reserved. ii DEDICATION This work is dedicated to my wife Diane, to my parents, and to the memory of Dr. Frances Harbour, who encouraged me to pursue this topic and gave critical support and advice up to the end. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This work would have been far inferior (if it would have existed at all) without the input of many different people over several years. Dr. Frances Harbour was my original dissertation committee chair; it was in her Ethics in IR class that the nucleus of this argument first took shape, and she strongly encouraged me to turn it into my dissertation and was a great support during the early "flailing around" phase of theory development. Dr. Char Miller agreed to step in as chair when Dr. Harbour passed away, and he and my other committee members have supported me despite imperfect circumstances and the difficulties of working remotely. Dr. Eric McGlinchey and Dr. Jo-Marie Burt in particular guided my engagement with the Comparative Politics subfield, the main concepts of which mark this dissertation in fundamental ways; I owe them both a great intellectual debt.
