Definition(s)

  • Dissent is an unwillingness to cooperate with an established source of authority, which can be social, cultural, or governmental. Political theorists have focused mainly on government as an object for dissent, thinking through how and to what extent dissent should be promoted, tolerated, and controlled by a state. [Source: Encyclopedia of Political Theory; Dissent]
