Unsettled Legitimacy - Political Community, Power, and Authority in a Global Era (Hardcover)

Under what conditions do individuals and communities accept globalizeddecision making as legitimate? And what political practices doindividuals and collectivities under globalization use to exerciseautonomy? To answer these questions, the contributors explore thedisruptions and reconfigurations of political authority that accompanyglobalization. Arguing that we live in an era in which politicallegitimacy at multiple scales of authority is under strain, they showthat globalization has also created demands for regulation, security,and the protection of rights and expressions of individual andcollective autonomy.
