Essay from the year 2011 in the subject Politics - International Politics - General and Theories, grade: 1,3, Zeppelin University Friedrichshafen, language: English, abstract: Legitimacy theory has developed from a western human centric point of view. The initial question was how to control human beings. In answer to this question, the nation state - a hierarchical ordered construct - was invented. The concept of legitimacy refers to the people's acceptance of this political entity. Thus, the concept of political legitimacy is historically bound to the nation state and its political system. Recent developments attempt to question this. This becomes most obvious when it comes to the global problems we are facing. We live in a complex global governance system and affecting decisions are made by global organizations beyond the nation state. Just as the state is no longer capable of controlling and managing society anymore I argue that the society is no longer capable of controlling the decisions made within - or beyond - a nation state. Neither our traditional tools of domestic democracy, nor such instruments as state consent on a global level are longer sufficient.

Essay from the year 2010 in the subject Politics - International Politics - Topic: European Union, grade: 1,7, Zeppelin University Friedrichshafen, language: English, abstract: Certainly, at least in Europe and the United States, democracy is taken for granted. Not only is our political system democratic, our entire society is democratically organized. Our current understanding of democracy came about as a result of the emergence of the European nation-state. The functioning of modern democracy is consistent with the political system of the state. In the twentieth century the transforming processes of globalization, including the empowering of global institutions as well as technological revolution, influenced the role and functioning of the modern nation state. A new complexity and greater number of actors appeared on the world stage and the term 'government' was increasingly regarded as inappropriate in capturing political reality. The differentiated governance approach is more likely to be capable of dealing with complexity. But what are the effects on democracy? This term paper argues that change from 'government' to 'governance' forces a change in the concept of democracy as well. To prove this assumption the European Union is closely examined.
