Emerging traits of late global modernity such as transnationalism,
multiculturalism, individualization and supranational contexts of
action raise the question of what holds society together. Responses
have typically made reference to legitimization, but the modern
world presents challenges to such responses, for in such a
differentiated, globalized setting, legitimization can no longer
appeal to the previous national, ideological or religious
foundations of early modernity. From a variety of theoretical and
empirical perspectives, this book explores the manner in which
legitimization can be constructed by people, groups or institutions
under the contemporary pressures and possibilities of modern world
society. Drawing on cosmopolitan theory, postcolonial sociology,
systems theory, and historical sociology, it engages with questions
of human rights, processes of individualization and the
constitution of transnational spaces in its examination of the
challenges to legitimization. As such, it will be of interest to
scholars of sociology, political science and social and legal
theory, concerned with questions of globalization and the problems
of social cohesion and legitimacy.
