This book offers an in-depth analysis of a question of both philosophical and political import: should citizens pay for their state\'s wrongdoings? States are often made to pay compensations for their misdeeds. However, it is their citizens who, through taxation, end up bearing the costs. Essentially, are states justified in passing the buck to their populations? The book offers a fresh justification for citizens\' duties to share their state\'s responsibilities. AviaPasternak combines comparative politics and public international law, defining and setting limits on what real-world democratic and authoritarian states can demand of their citizens.
