| Description: |
This ground-breaking work explores how the unsettling of legitimacy has affected the relationships between authority, power, and political community in local, regional, national, and global settings. |
| Synopsis: |
Globalization has challenged taken-for-granted relationships of rulein local, regional, national, and international settings. Thisunsettling of legitimacy raises questions. Under what conditions doindividuals and communities accept globalized decision making aslegitimate? And what political practices do individuals andcollectivities under globalization use to exercise autonomy?To answer these questions, the contributors to UnsettledLegitimacy explore the disruptions and reconfigurations ofpolitical authority that accompany globalization. They offertheoretical analyses and detailed empirical case studies on thefollowing: the normative foundations of legitimacy and autonomy; theaccommodation of difference and autonomy; communal violence;humanitarian intervention; governance across borders and throughinternational institutions; and legitimacy and autonomy on global andregional scales. They also show that globalization has created demandsfor regulation, security, and the protection of rights and expressionsof individual and collective autonomy within and across multiplepolitical and geographic spaces.Instead of offering simplistic arguments for or against globalgovernance, enhanced democracy, or economic integration, the essays inthis sophisticated, interdisciplinary collection examine thecomplexities of autonomy, legitimation, and authority in a globalizingworld. |
