Contending Legitimacy in World Politics The State, Civil Society and the International Sphere in the Twenty-first Century


Free Download Bronwyn Winter, "Contending Legitimacy in World Politics: The State, Civil Society and the International Sphere in the Twenty-first Century"
English | 2019 | ISBN: 0367889269 | EPUB | pages: 224 | 0.7 mb
Legitimacy, along with security and democracy, is arguably one of the most widely used global buzzwords of the new millennium. Yet, the idea of political legitimacy is not new and has been constructed in different ways at different moments in history. This book problematizes this notion, from various contextual standpoints, disciplinary and theoretical perspectives. Taking a comparative, transnational and bottom-up approach to the study of political legitimacy, this book sheds light on multiple perceptions by different actors (institutions, civil society, majoritarian and minority subjects), analysing the notion of political legitimacy from a critical perspective. Questioning received wisdom or one-size-fits-all analyses, it leads to a reassessment of the link between legitimacy and sovereignty, and emphasises the demand by transnational civil society to go beyond identity politics, which produce logics of violence. This book was originally published as a special issue of Global Discourse.
