About the Book
Globalization has challenged taken-for-granted relationships of rule in local, regional, national, and international settings. This unsettling of legitimacy raises questions. Under what conditions do individuals and communities accept globalized decision making as legitimate? And what political practices do individuals and collectivities under globalization use to exercise autonomy?
To answer these questions, the contributors to Unsettled Legitimacy explore the disruptions and reconfigurations of political authority that accompany globalization. They offer theoretical analyses and detailed empirical case studies on the following: the normative foundations of legitimacy and autonomy; the accommodation of difference and autonomy; communal violence; humanitarian intervention; governance across borders and through international institutions; and legitimacy and autonomy on global and regional scales. They also show that globalization has created demands for regulation, security, and the protection of rights and expressions of individual and collective autonomy within and across multiple political and geographic spaces.
Instead of offering simplistic arguments for or against global governance, enhanced democracy, or economic integration, the essays in this sophisticated, interdisciplinary collection examine the complexities of autonomy, legitimation, and authority in a globalizing world.
