This volume addresses the normative legitimacy of the international
order, asking how we can make sense of legitimacy claims of
increasingly diverse global governance institutions and practices
and how their legitimacy relates to and differs from state
legitimacy. State legitimacy is a central concern of modern
political thought but is inadequate when applied to institutions
that differ from the state in type, level of governance, scope, and
much else. We need a new, tailored approach to the legitimacy of
institutions beyond the state, especially international and
transnational institutions. Such an approach includes foundational
questions: what does it mean for institutions to be legitimate that
have radically different purposes, means, interests, capacities,
constituents, and roles from states? And what standards do such
institutions have to meet in order to count as legitimate? The
contributions to this volume seek to advance the debate on these
questions at both abstract and more concrete levels. They range
from conceptual questions about the nature of legitimacy and
international institutions, to rule of law, to the legitimacy of
the UN Security Council, the International Criminal Court, and
occupying military forces in the face of challenges specific to
their nature and context. Together they demonstrate both the
promise and challenges of theorizing legitimacy beyond the state.
The chapters in this book were originally published as a special
issue of the journal Critical Review of International Social and
Political Philosophy.
