doi:10.5771/9783748935469

Summary

Legitimacy is the basis of any exercise of authority. However, legitimacy has received relatively little attention in legal scholarship. This book explores the legitimacy discourse in an interdisciplinary and comparative manner to identify contemporary patterns of legitimacy and their relevance to legal sciences. This provides a theoretical framework for addressing current legal issues in the nation-state, as well as at the European and international level.
