Legitimation and delegitimation in global governance : practices, justifications, and audiences / edited by Magdalena Bexell, Kristina Jönsson and Anders Uhlin.
The legitimacy of global governance institutions is both contested and defended in contemporary global politics. This book explores processes of legitimation and delegitimation of such institutions. How, why, and with what impact on audiences, are global governance institutions legitimated and delegitimated? The book develops a comprehensive theoretical framework for studying processes of (de)legitimation in governance beyond the state. It provides broad comparative analyses to uncover previously unexplored patterns of (de)legitimation processes. A diverse set of global and regional governmental and nongovernmental institutions in different policy fields are included.
