Valerie Braithwaite, The Australian National University
'[Valerie] Braithwaite merges her considerable knowledge of a wide
range of disciplines to produce an exemplar of interdisciplinary
research. The use of the taxation system as the basis for analysis
of how people manage their relationship with authority is effective
and produces a much-needed addition to the behavioural literature.
While the book is primarily about defiance in taxation, many
instances of non-taxation related defiance are included, which
provides excellent support and extension of the tax-based
arguments. Braithwaite has produced an excellent example of a book
that is grounded in the extant literature, while expanding our
understanding of the importance of understanding the behaviours
that drive defiance. The aim of the book is to "show how
authorities can live symbiotically with defiance" and she achieves
this superbly, illustrating how improved satisfaction with "the
process" can minimise defiance.'
