This book traces the pathways to defiance (both resistant and dismissive) using motivational posturing theory and a panel data set to track the relationship between taxpayers and their state over five years. Valerie Braithwaite illustrates that choosing corrective measures tests society’s commitment to democratic principles and the integrity of government. Resistant defiance expresses disapproval of the way an authority operates and signals to government the need to improve performance to win back public confidence. Resistant defiance weakens as the authority claws back its institutional integrity. Dismissive defiance, challenging and undermining, is not so responsive. The author argues that social capital can collapse if defiance is not managed with justice and wisdom.
