Texto completoResumen
<p>Any organization, to fulfill its mandate from the society, needs to have the legitimacy to use collective resources. Conferred almost automatically at the birth of the organization, it has to be maintained and even repaired when necessary. Legitimacy appears then as a conversation between the organization and the general public. Noticeably, this continuous conversation is sustained through the media and also through documents issued by the firm, particularly the annual report. The firms use discursive strategies to entertain their legitimacy.</p><p>Using semiotic analysis in the frame of a multiple cases study (6 firms over 5 years), this paper isolates the different stories in the annual reports, including the images that are integrated parts of these narrations. We apply the semiotic instrument to these stories to deconstruct the content and expose the actor filling actantial roles. We found a substantial amount of stories (187 in 30 reports) containing the categories developed by Greimas &amp; Bremond from the work of Propp, implying an intensive use of the report in the conversation maintaining legitimacy.</p>

This research presents a theory of educational change grounded in 23 years of qualitative data that document the history of a public elementary school. The pattern of change observed supports the punctuated equilibrium theory of organizational change in which short periods of revolutionary change—usually the result of failed innovation—are followed by long periods of equilibrium or incremental change. Attempts to legitimate organizational and individual behavior—the dynamics of construction, erosion, loss, reconstruction, and maintenance of organizational legitimacy—explain the sequence of stages in the change process. The study concludes that punctuated legitimacy, which created the need to reestablish legitimacy, not rational administrative attempts to improve the programs and structure of the school, was the major factor that produced significant organizational change.

This qualitative case study of one German suburban high school classroom in the Midwestern United States examines how learners of German negotiate their linguistic legitimacy, which is defined as discursively constructed acceptance or validation for their language use. Specifically, it investigates how the students negotiated legitimacy for using their target language German in their classroom. Based on the premise that linguistic legitimacy is crucial for the maintenance and development of speakers’ languages, data was collected and analyzed from classroom recordings, semi-structured interviews, and participant observations. Findings revealed that, while English dominated the lessons as the default legitimate language among the students, using German was accepted and valued under certain circumstances. Such instances of linguistic legitimacy included the use of German for entertainment or in role plays, a pattern which points to the students’ desire to mitigate investment and display “uninvestment” in learning or using German. Implications for foreign language (FL) pedagogy and teacher education are discussed.

Environmental governance implies creation of novel interdependencies among actors and actions, and this innovation and diversity presents challenges. One of these challenges is the maintenance of legitimacy. To understand processes of legitimation at the level of individual organizations and at the level of the larger assemblages represented by governance arrangements, we develop a conceptual framework that analyzes accountability relationships. Within this framework, we use artifacts of accountability, material representations of accountability relationships, to understand the creation, maintenance, and erosion of legitimacy. We study the creation and administration of a multifunctional forested landscape in New Hampshire, USA. Empirical assessment of the varied institutional logics that structure and contribute to legitimacy in this material and organizational landscape allows us to advance understanding of persistence, change, and failure of environmental governance arrangements.

For entrepreneurs, establishing and maintaining new venture legitimacy is a complex endeavor. Various factors complicate this process, including issues of optimal distinctiveness, audience diversity, market category evolution, and multiple legitimacy thresholds. Moreover, the establishment and maintenance of new venture legitimacy is an intricate process that unfolds over time. In this essay, I review and integrate prior work on new venture legitimacy not only to highlight these complications, but also to consolidate insights, theoretical nuances, and empirical observations to describe what happens when entrepreneurs confront multiple complications at the same time. In so doing, I propose that configurational approaches provide a valuable theoretical perspective to enhance knowledge related to new venture legitimacy. I also highlight exemplar studies that have adopted these perspectives, accounting for multiple new venture legitimacy complications in a single analysis. This provides a basis to understand recent advances in the new venture legitimacy literature, and inspires and opens up new research opportunities for further exploration.

Legitimacy of a child is the most sensitive issue to be discussed although there are many issues in relation to the presumption of legitimacy of a child, they remained the same for a long period of time mainly because of the excuse of religion. This research is related to the Legitimacy of a Child in Pakistan reference to Islamic Laws and Medical Science. In Pakistan, the legitimacy of a child is dealt with according to Article 128 of the Qanoon-e-Shahadat Order, 1984 and Muslim Personal Laws. In this, I discussed the inconsistency of some laws with medical science. I have also proposed some more ways to determine the legitimacy of a child rather than using laws available in Pakistan as a sole entity. It is important to determine the paternity of a child as it leads to succession, maintenance, guardianship, inheritance and much more. This research also highlights the importance of re-formulation of present laws related to the legitimacy of a Child in Pakistan.

ABSTRACTConcerns over food safety in China not only direct public attention to negative incidents, but also trigger the government's scrutiny of implicated firms, particularly MNCs. The question of how to repair legitimacy after media coverage of negative incidents has become a critical issue for MNCs. Although the factors for MNCs’ public crises have been identified, how local contexts and mechanisms shape repair approaches remain unclear. To address this research gap, we conducted a study of Walmart China's approaches associated with two negative incidents across two regions. We found that the negative incidents can be framed differently depending on the local environment's unfavorability for MNCs. Specifically, the negative framing gave rise to varying degrees of legitimacy loss and offered different leeway for MNCs to repair their legitimacy. We also identified the varied outcomes of different repair approaches. By revealing the linkages among local context, framing, legitimacy repair, and its outcomes, our study contributes to research on MNCs’ legitimacy management under institutional complexity and underscores the China context for legitimacy maintenance. We also offer insights that advance the institutional approach to legitimacy repair in this context. Last, we reflect on the techniques for conducting qualitative research in China.

This article argues Mexico’s war on drugs was a tactic by elites in both the United States and Mexico to legitimate the Mexican neoliberal state’s political, economic, and ideological governance over Mexican society. Through tough on crime legislation and maintenance of free market policies, the war on drugs is a “morbid symptom” that obfuscates the crisis of global capitalism in the region. It is a way of managing a crisis of legitimacy of Mexico’s neoliberal state. Through arguments of Mexico as a potential “failed state” and a “narco-state,” the United States has played a leading role by investing in militarized policing in the drug war and securitization of Mexico’s borders to expand and maintain capitalist globalization. In the twenty-first century, the ideology of manifest destiny persists, but instead of westward expansion of the U.S. state, it serves as the maintenance and expansion of global capitalism.

The significance of legitimacy to regime maintenance has been much neglected in recent investigations of the Third World, particularly by behavioralists and rational choice theorists. I define legitimacy, discuss factors that may have contributed to this neglect, and explore the significance of nationalism and religion as major sources of legitimacy in the Middle East. Both a misunderstanding of the role of higher values and rationality in individuals' relationship to social systems and a faulty projection applied to the mainsprings of behavior in other cultures have distorted the perceptions of a number of Western analysts. The relationship between religion and nationalism is complex. Contrary to the common assumption in the West, Islam in general has generated fairly sophisticated constitutional theories. Islamic fundamentalism in particular has been a major source of innovation and adaptation—as well as of spiritual gratification—for the Muslim masses.

This article attempts to analyze the construction and maintenance of political legitimacy in North Korea through the lens of its state-produced films. After classifying North Korea’s regime as totalitarian, we then discuss the strategies of legitimation available given this classification, and highlight the importance of ideology therein. Next, we demonstrate the importance of film within North Korea’s ideological apparatus and thematically analyze six North Korean films dating from 1948–2006. From this analysis, we situate the social role of film in contemporary North Korea and argue that it will remain a crucial force amongst the country’s various attempts to maintain legitimacy.

The article considers the concept of legitimacy as an attribute of power, reveals the content of legitimacy, shows its role and significance for the subjects of the political process, defines the stages of origin and genesis of legitimacy theory. It proves that power either on the state or local levels cannot be obtained for the sake of satisfaction from the feeling of one's temporary supremacy. Nevertheless, most interpretations of power reflect it as the vertical asymmetry of its participants’ dispositions, what implies the «ability» of the subject (operator of power) to use dominant positions. It appears necessary either for self-restoration of centralized hierarchical dependencies, or for achievement of certain goals. Therefore, the problem of legitimacy of government and political regime, including their safety, maintenance, preservation etc, is cause of concern for both. The problem of legitimacy of political regime is especially important for the countries of so-called «hybrid democracy». The analysis of works of native and foreign researchers was the basis to substantiate legitimacy theory. It is found out that the urgent task in transit countries is to increase the level of legitimacy of the political system and, accordingly, to legitimize regime change. Therefore, for transitional societies, legitimacy is a political characteristics leading to the formation of a new political system. In fact, the «hybridity» of the political regime complicates the process of its legitimation, because at the stage of transformation of the political regime the symbols of power, institutions, procedures and the very form of government change. Also the article gives the approaches to the definition and substantiation of legitimacy, its typology and model range and dimensions. It traces the relationship between the type of legitimacy of power and its ability to control violence in modern political systems. It reveals that fear becomes a new type of legitimacy of the political regime. Legitimacy based on fear is defined through the aspects of social division making them an instrument to appeal to certain social groups and their problems.

Ghana is widely considered as “a beacon of hope for democracy in Africa” (Gyimah-Boadi 2010, 137). Yet substantive democratic transformations of policing have stagnated mainly because the police continue to act as a handmaiden of the state and powerful elites. Consequently, the reliance on performance in crime control and order maintenance as the bedrock of colonial police legitimacy (as judged by colonial administrators) has survived unscathed. Anxieties about violent crime, mainly in urban areas, have accompanied the pursuit of neoliberal economics and politics. Having staked their legitimacy on performance, the police view these anxieties and doubts about their effectiveness as potentially de-legitimating. They have responded in a highly dramatic but violent fashion, including the extrajudicial killing of suspected violent offenders believed to be the cause of feelings of insecurity. This article examines the nature of this pathway to legitimacy.

The American Society of International Law (ASIL), incorporated by Act of Congress in 1950, was founded in 1906 “to promote the establishment and maintenance of international relations on the basis of law and justice.” As we celebrate the centennial of this, the Society’s principal publication, it is appropriate to examine the present and future prospects of this project. Is it still a compelling aspiration in the era of U.S. superpower-dom?The founding of the Society and initiation of the Journal (AJIL) must be seen in the context of the then-prevalent American commitment to the idea that a world of international law and international tribunals would be a natural, even historically inevitable, extrapolation of a good American idea. Speaking in 1890 to the first Pan-American Conference, President Benjamin Harrison congratulated the delegates on formulating a hemispheric arbitration agreement. “We rejoice,” he said, “that you have found in the organization of our Government something suggestive and worthy of imitation.” At The Hague in 1907, Secretary of State Elihu Root, the founding president of the ASIL, called for the creation of an international court “which would pass upon questions between nations with the same impartial and impersonal judgment that the Supreme Court of the United States gives to questions arising between citizens of the different States.”

Texto completoResumen
The article explores the notion of liquid authority by examining the ways in which the central organizations in three transnational regulatory-governance regimes do or do not attempt to establish interpretive control over the norms that they issue: the International Accounting Standards Board, the International Organisation of Standardisation, and the Forest Stewardship Council. The need to ‘solidify’ their authority ranges across all of their regulatory functions; this article focusses on just one of those functions: interpretation. In focussing on how these regulators seek to exercise interpretive control, the article seeks to show how liquid authority can crystallize. Further, the article develops the notion of liquid authority by arguing that the establishment, exercise, and continual maintenance of authority in transnational regulatory regimes, which are characterized by liquid authority as they lack a formal, legal base, are fundamentally linked to the issue of legitimacy. It argues in turn that legitimacy, and thus authority, is endogenously produced, a fact which exogenous, normative assessments of legitimacy can overlook. The article argues that regulators play an active role in their own legitimation – in creating, exercising, and maintaining their legitimacy, and in turn their authority, and that their success or otherwise in doing so is linked in part to their functional effectiveness, but that transnational regulators face a legitimacy paradox: they depend in part on such effectiveness for their legitimacy. The article supplements the ‘anatomical’ analysis of liquid authority with an understanding of the physiology of legitimation.

The concept of the power legitimacy as one of the problems in the field of public administration was first mentioned by the German jurist G. Jellinek of the late 19th - early 20th century, then it was deeply developed in the theory of political domination by M. Weber. Realizing the importance of this issue, scientists from different countries one way or another turned to it and refined its various aspects. This article provides a critical analysis of the basic concepts of the legitimacy of power, based on the contribution to the development of this issue by M. Weber, D. Easton, I. Cerovac, J. Rawls, D. Estlund and J. Habermas. Since the problem of the legitimacy of power is directly related to the maintenance of a democratic regime, the declared concepts are considered in the context of the varieties of democracies for which they were created. The purpose of this study is not only to analyze successive concepts of the legitimacy of political power, but also to identify their relationship with the prevailing ideas about democracy in science and society at the time the concept appeared. The study was carried out within the framework of a systematic approach using general theoretical methods of analysis and synthesis, systematization and classification, as well as the case study method for country analysis.

The use of DNA fingerprinting in solving crime is proving to be as revolutionary as the introduction of fingerprint evidence in court more than a century ago. It has emerged as one of the most powerful tools available for solving many medical as well as legal complexities. DNA fingerprinting plays an important role in the establishment of the paternity of an individual. Most of cases regarding disputed paternity arise in the context of affiliation orders, divorce proceedings and questioned legitimacy, may also be used to find out paternity in cases of inheritance, guardianship, maintenance, legitimacy, adultery or fornication. The present work was done to solve the paternity dispute. MED Phoenix Volume (1), Issue (1) July 2016, page: 44-46

National Collegiate Athletics Association (NCAA) Division I schools compete with the Canadian Hockey League for top Canadian youth minor hockey players (ages 14–18). To address the challenges of adhering to NCAA’s eligibility and recruitment regulations, the NCAA commissioners created College Hockey Inc. (CHI). One challenge facing new institutions such as CHI is establishing legitimacy as a means of penetrating a crowded organizational field. In this paper we examine what forces, actions, and events contributed to the creation of CHI and what forces, actions, or events contribute to maintaining CHI’s relevance in their attempt to leverage NCAA Division I hockey with Canadian players and parents. Educational Opportunities, Student Life Experiences, Player Development, and Professional Hockey Opportunities were found to be discursive strategies used by CHI to gain pragmatic legitimacy and maintain the institution. Exploration of these strategies makes a number of practical and theoretical contributions to the field of sport management.

The quality of roads as public goods should be maintained and improved time to time. In order to put the available funds on the right roads for the optimal results, roads should be prioritized. This paper discussed how prioritization on road maintenance. The materials and method used are based on literature review. Discussion starts with the definition of local roads, the role of local road maintenance, and the definition of local road maintenance. The second part discuss the definition of prioritization, the objective of prioritization, and the roles of prioritization in road maintenance. The third part examines the common prioritization procedures conducted in planning process reflecting prioritization methods used in road maintenance prioritization. The fouth part discuss ciriteria in ranking alternatives which are single and multi criteria. The fifth part discuss the definition of actors, the roles of actors involved, the actors' attributes, and the types of actors in road maintenance prioritization process. According to the literature, there are four groups of prioritization methods based on procedure they conducted, and there are eight types of actors involved in prioritization process determined by the attributes such as power, legitimacy, and urgency they possess. The choice of method depends on where the roads to be prioritized are located.

The purpose of this study is to examine asset management practices in Chinese private universities using Yunnan College of Business Management as a case study. The study draws on four theoretical frameworks: legitimacy theory, stakeholder theory, agency theory, and resource-based view theory. Qualitative research methods, including interviews and document analysis, are used to collect data from relevant stakeholders, such as administrators, faculty, and students. The study finds that while Yunnan College of Business Management has implemented various asset management strategies, there are still opportunities for improvement in areas such as asset utilization and maintenance. The results also suggest that the university should consider the interests of various stakeholders, including students, faculty, and donors, to improve the legitimacy and sustainability of its asset management practices. Based on these findings, this study recommends that the university develop a comprehensive asset management plan that is consistent with its mission and values, adopts advanced technology for asset tracking and maintenance, and establishes a transparent and accountable asset management system. This study contributes to the literature on asset management in the higher education sector and provides practical recommendations for improving asset management practices in Chinese private universities.

AbstractIncreasingly within industries voluntary codes (standards) are being developed and subsequently used by firms to address social and environmental issues. On any particular issue multiple competing codes may be available for adoption by firms. Given a choice of codes, which ones will firms adopt? Building on existing institutional and economic research pertaining to voluntary codes this paper proposes a theoretical model as to why some codes are perceived as legitimate by firms and hence are widely adopted while others are not. This model proposes that, in addition to the role of the code's content, the characteristics of the adopting firm, and environmental factors, the origins of a voluntary code, including the characteristics of the developer creating it, the development process, and the opportunity for firms to engage in formalized ‘normative conversations’ regarding the code subsequent to its adoption, will influence whether potential firm adopters perceive the code as legitimating and hence decide to adopt it. Rather than code adoption simply reflecting institutional mimicry or a rational transaction by adopting firms this model suggests that both the creation and the maintenance processes surrounding codes play important roles in the perceptions of legitimacy and subsequent adoption of codes by firms.

With Judgment No 15 of 9 February 2023, the Italian Constitutional Court upheld the legitimacy of the compulsory vaccination against COVID-19 imposed on specific categories of workers and of the consequences of non-compliance. This contribution analyses the reasoning of both the referring judges and the Constitutional Court, to understand whether the latter’s conclusion can be said to be persuasive. In this respect, it is first maintained that the Court was correct in justifying the limitation on the right not to be subject to unwanted health treatments since the right to health also entails the State’s obligation to protect public health. What appears to be questionable is the Court’s finding that the exclusion of suspended workers from the maintenance benefits or any form of social security is constitutionally legitimate. A more careful consideration of international human rights law might perhaps have led the Court to a different conclusion.

In 2009, the Corrections (Contract Management of Prisons) Amendment Act re-implemented prison privatisation in New Zealand (NZ). Subsequently, ‘Mt Eden’, a public prison, was contracted to Serco and a second prison, ‘Wiri’, was built under contract to the same company. Despite glowing performance reports, Serco’s reputation was significantly damaged when cell-phone video capturing Mt Eden prisoners engaged in fights, in full view of prison officers and CCTV, was uploaded to YouTube in July 2015. An unprecedented stream of media revelations about prisoner mistreatment, corruption and serious human rights violations followed, prompting the Department of Corrections to seize control of the prison. This article examines the potential of this human rights based scandal to challenge the legitimacy of private prisons in NZ. Where previously, prison legitimacy largely revolved around representations of managerialism, security and the maintenance of austere conditions, the revelations at Mt Eden highlighted a moment when penal legitimacy fractured for being too severe and non-humanitarian. Drawing upon analysis of media articles (n = 648) over seven years (2009–2016) from three major sources (the New Zealand Herald, Stuff News and Radio NZ), the article demonstrates how journalists quickly reverted to traditional discursive frames on imprisonment. Representing the crisis as an unfortunate aberration that could be managed through government controls, mainstream media helped to consolidate and ultimately strengthen the legitimacy of the prison in NZ.

All societies are organized based on hierarchies, where some groups have more power than others. Although some may aspire for a hierarchy-free world, hierarchies are inevitable and strongly resistant to changes. People may feel motivated to see hierarchical social systems as fair, legitimate, and justified, and endorse system-justifying ideologies, such as social dominance orientation (SDO), contributing to the maintenance and perpetuation of intergroup inequality. Belief in the social system’s fairness and legitimacy should increase acceptance and support for the existing society-based social stratification and status hierarchies, weakening support for collective action towards social change. We tested this idea, with two studies, conducted on members of the general population ( N = 121) and on members of a disadvantaged group highly mobilized for social change towards intergroup equality ( N = 154). Results showed that system justification undermines collective action through SDO (full mediation). We discuss the implications of including ideological processes when predicting collective action.

This study examines the maintenance of highly institutionalized practices during periods of vehement contestation and changing external demands. Employing a cross-level longitudinal research design, we explore how the recruitment model of elite French business schools persisted, remaining fundamentally intact despite serious questions raised about its functional utility and social legitimacy. Comparing three periods of contestation, we document shifting coalitions of dispersed actors that were incentivized to “thematically” maintain the practices in the focal field with little formal orchestration. Our findings indicate that practices which contribute to social stratification often foster meta-routines that cajole constituencies in multiple fields to, collectively and self-interestedly, promote and regulate conservative change. We identify three meta-routines—referential comparison, generative improvisation, and distributed monitoring and policing—that introduced flexibility and encouraged “unforced” adaptations. In elaborating these meta-routines, we contribute to extant theory on the mechanisms of institutional maintenance, and shed further light on the role of complex embeddedness as a constraint on institutional processes.

Hegemony is a preferred mode of governance. Because it relies more heavily on consent than on coercion, it tends to produce a more willing, and less resistant, citizenry. By its nature, hegemony depends crucially upon a widely shared, common-sensical view that elites are acting in the interests of those being governed, and this common sense underpins the legitimacy and authority of those in power. Failure to maintain such legitimacy can produce moments of severe crisis in governance, and such threats must be avoided or ameliorated. Typically, this kind of boundary work takes place “behind the scenes.” There are moments, however, when these efforts at state maintenance become visible, and might be investigated to reveal mechanisms that could be turned to progressive ends. We contend that official, state apologies offer one such avenue for investigation, and we offer our substantiation for this claim in the paper below.

The main purpose of this paper is to preserve the patient’s medical images and electronic records in the healthcare centre for enabling the distribution of patient data and exchange between networked hospitals andhealthcare centres. The healthcare centre and hospitals have to provide assuranceof security, legitimacy and supervision of medical images and information overstorage and distribution, the watermarking techniques are rising to provide security for medical healthcare information. The medical data’s and electronic patient’s record can be encrypted in secret format then the embedded EPR information and medical images are to be saved in storage space andtransmission overheads and provide assurance security of the shared information. The discrete wavelet packet transform (DWPT) method is novel approach to shielding the patient statistics of themedical image by means of the hospital logo as anallusion image. Several error correction and detection techniques are used to provide greater security to medical information mainly concentrated on forward error correction code (FEC), and BCH code, to improve the robustness of the proposed method.

The primary objective of this paper is to examine the intricacies surrounding power legitimacy, identifying its multifaceted aspects in various categories. The authors discuss key factors necessary to determine power’s legitimacy and meticulously elaborate on the pertinent dimensions encompassing it. The article focuses on the factors that threaten the maintenance of unchallenged power, specifically the spectre of illegitimacy, and those that reinforce its consolidation. By concentrating exclusively on two key pillars – dimensions and categories – the article aims to establish a theoretical framework for investigating the legitimisation of political authority. This endeavour is crucial in comprehending the intricate interplay between society and power. It also has a clear research objective, i.e. to identify the specific area, scope, and pivotal junctures in the legitimisation process where dimensions and categories exert their most profound and immediate impact. Consequently, the reader gains a thorough understanding of the complex and diverse processes involved in legitimisation, encompassing legal, political, and societal dynamics.

In Sweden, maintenance treatment (MT) with methadone has been a controversial exception to drug-free treatment. However, efficacy, prescription control and the provision of simultaneous psychosocial treatment (PST) have provided MT with political legitimacy. This view, notably stressing that PST is an important complement to medication, was presented in central Swedish policy documents that paved the way for less strict MT regulations in 2005. Aim The present study aims to analyse how the various stakeholders involved in this policy process described and evaluated the efficacy and legitimacy of PST within the framework of the MT discussion. Data & Method The data consists of a document authored by a state agency (a preliminary review of MT research) and various stakeholders' written commentaries on it. different representations of PST (so-called constructions) were coded thematically and analysed using discourse analytical concepts. Results The results show that stakeholders' constructions of PST draw on different discourses related to the governance of Swedish opiate addiction treatment. Four constructions were identified, PST as: “mere complement” (narrow empirical discourse); “underrated intervention” (practitioner discourse); “preferred intervention” (ideological discourse) and “complex intervention” (antireductionist discourse). The study illustrates how the narrow empirical discourse's construction of PST as a mere complement was challenged by the three other discourses, but shows that the former remained the dominant influence on subsequent MT regulations. It also highlights that references to beliefs and alleged facts are intertwined in stakeholders' rhetorical efforts to assign meaning to PST. This suggests that science and ideology are interrelated in policy discussions on opiate addiction treatment, and that firm conclusions about the value of help interventions rely as much on scientific evidence as on strategic argumentation.

ABSTRACT The mediation process takes place through the interrelationship of technical devices, human, environmental, and semiotic systems that enable knowledge sharing and construction. In discussing information mediation, we must consider the various mechanisms and communication strategies aimed at reaching not only the receiver of information, but also to develop cultural, specific, ethical and aesthetic values. In mediation of medical information, the doctor maters the specialized field of scientific knowledge, built from research activities performed by subjects in a given time, obeying the rules and protocols of research, formalization and dissemination of results, defined by the scientific community, with recognition and legitimacy, which puts him on the central condition of the legitimate mediator of the medical information. However, he cannot, alone, with his scientific answer, to meet both objective and subjective demands that come from patient-receptor. He needs to establish a dialogue with a range of other knowledge "voices" transiting through other knowledge, including the professional information, which interferes and act on complex interactive process in search of procedures for the maintenance and quality of living.

The end of the cold war and the attendant security vacuum unleashed aflurryof intellectual activity and international commissions that reflected on the world that was being left behind and the world that should be created in its place. The reports under review are among the best and most influential of the lot. This article focuses on three issues raised by these reports. First, the portrait of the new international order offered by these reports is a liberal international order. Second, the concept of legitimacy appears in various guises, and the UN is considered the site for the legitimation of a particular order. Few international orders are ever founded or sustained by force alone, something well understood by the policymakers who drafted these reports and wisely heeded by international relations theorists who attempt to understand their actions and the international orders that they construct and sustain. Third, these reports envision the UN as an agent of normative integration. As such, it contributes to the development and maintenance of a liberal international order by increasing the number of actors who identify with and uphold its values.

Texto completoResumen
Community leaders are expected to navigate different social and institutional contexts, but they must do so without the direction, authority or legitimacy available to leaders within formal organisations. In this article, we draw on qualitative data from a participation initiative to explore how community leaders get involved in everyday maintenance of public services in informal settlements in Cape Town, in order to understand how they fulfil this intermediary role. Applying the lens of leadership-as-practice, we identify four practices that connect the communities and city, and which facilitate access to public services. We unpack how these practices emerge in and are shaped by the service maintenance system and material conditions of informality. We argue that community leaders fulfil their intermediary role through everyday improvisations to find ‘what works’, and in the process, they also create and sustain relations of dependence and interdependence that reinforce those very roles.

AbstractA correlation between the strength of civil society and democratization is often assumed to imply a causal relationship between the two variables. In fact, this correlation may be spurious, both phenomena being shaped by deeper social processes related to modernization and individualization. An excessive focus on ‘civil society assistance’ may paradoxically hamper the deeper changes necessary for the development of a vigorous associational life and of democratic representation. It would therefore be more prudent to focus democratic assistance on the establishment of stable and efficient social and political institutions, and on the maintenance of key social infrastructures crucial to political legitimacy.

Until the fifteenth century, Vietnam was essentially a Buddhist country. The piety of the dynasties constituted their source of legitimacy, and Buddhism provided a means for royal authority to penetrate and incorporate the local political structure. In the face of the development of social unrest, however, Confucian literati started to voice their concern for the maintenance of order and eventually emerged in the fifteenth century as spokesmen for royal authority, definers of public morality and guardians of the court. As a result, institutional Buddhism lost the court patronage it had previously enjoyed, and henceforth its political influence declined steadily.

Abstract The power of the Security Council to adopt military measures for the maintenance of international peace and security has never been implemented as originally envisaged by the text of the UN Charter. The Council never acquired armed forces permanently at its disposal and under its command and control and it adopted the practice of authorisation of force leaving coalitions of willing States or regional organisations to implement it by conducting an operation under their command and resources with minimum control by the Council. The mandate of the operation in an enabling resolution is in principle a safeguard against abuse but its interpretation lies primarily (but not exclusively) with the participating States. The SC action in Libya intended to protect civilians (humanitarian intervention). Moreover, it revealed the real dimensions of humanitarian intervention and the vagaries of responsibility to protect: a suspension of the substance of Article 2(4).

The tragic collapse of the Genoa bridge – an event that hit the world headlines few years ago, also for the huge number of casualties caused – has engendered in Italy, more recently, multifarious legal controversies. In addition to whether the Italian Government was legally entitled to terminate the long-term service concession arrangements with the private entity in charge of the maintenance of the bridge, further subtle legal issues, of a public law nature, have followed up too. As to the latter, the contribution discusses the one relating to the legal characterisation of the piece of legislation (the obscure and opaque “administrative-law”) which the Italian Government has adopted in order to rule out, apparently within any legal-contractual justification, from the public contest of the Genoa bridge re-construction, an Italian company. This entity was the one in charge of the maintenance of the Italian motorway network, including the infamous bridge. The same Italian Constitutional Law has been recently required to enter the heated debate, with an ensuing decision which, as dissected in the article, has ascertained whether the different acts of the Italian Government, promoted and implemented in the aftermath of the Genoa Bridge, were legitimate. In this very complex scenario, the contribution is also aimed, from a more theoretical perspective, at shedding a light on the myriad of laws (administrative, executive, proper laws) that in the Italian legal system have blossomed in the last decades. Genoa bridge collapse, Italian motorways and service concession arrangements, right of termination, administrative-laws, constitutional legitimacy, rule of law, due process of law, concessionaire’s rights, European Union Law, competition law

Firm and verifiable signs give reason for legitimate concern and criticism of the path taken by public universities in European post-socialist states in the last two decades. Not fulfilling their social role and function, as guardians of knowledge, thought, critical reflection and open-mindedness, is a cause for serious concern. Universities have bowed to the aggressive logic of the market. Instead of resisting the purely bureaucratic and brutal administrative conditions and criteria imposed by the state, universities have completely and uncritically subjected themselves to the dictates of authorities and committees controlled by the state. Academics have become passive and apathetic slaves of robotised technocratic dehumanisation. These phenomena have led universities to considerably fail to take care of the education of critically thinking citizens, of moral personalities and courageous civil intellectuals equipped with authentic and high-quality knowledge, and with self-respect, combined with an appropriate ethical self-understanding of their systemic and social role. Academics have lost awareness of their most important public role in the maintenance and progress of genuine democracy and the political system’s legitimacy. It seems that these universities have become almost non-academic. And they could finally become ‘un-academic’ due to the 2020 pandemic.

This article analyses the way in which international administrations exercising governmental power in post-conflict territories justify their political authority in the absence of democratic legitimacy. Looking at the administrations in Bosnia, Kosovo, and East Timor, the article focuses on their establishment, their mandates, and their government practices and identifies five different sources of authority: consent, delegation, the maintenance of peace and security, the promotion of human rights and democracy, and the provision of government. However, all of these sources are contested. In particular the practices of international administrations, their lack of accountability and their limited effectiveness in providing government, undermine their authority. The article concludes by highlighting some possible avenues for enhancing the authority of international administrations.

The status-legitimacy hypothesis proposes that people with lower socioeconomic status (SES) are more likely to justify the social system than those with higher SES. However, empirical studies found inconsistent findings. In the present research, we argue that at least part of the confusion stems from the possibility that objective and subjective SES are differently related to system justification. On one hand, subjective SES is more related to status maintenance motivation and may increase system justification. On the other hand, objective SES is more related to access to information about the social reality, which may increase criticism about the system and lead to lower system justification. These hypotheses were supported by evidence from five studies (total N = 26,134) involving both adult and adolescent samples in China. We recommend that future research on status-related issues needs to distinguish the potential divergent roles of objective and subjective SES.

Secondary education is one key area in which academic disciplines build their identity and legitimacy in the public realm. The public image of a science is, of course, constructed by a variety of means and on different platforms, including the generalist media and the lively industry of scientific popularization. However, the school occupies a unique role in representations of science because of its greater degree of formal continuity with the academic environment. The successful institutionalization and maintenance of any discipline depends on it taking root, in some form at least, in the system of public instruction. Because education both fosters and depends on disciplinary reproduction, the concrete shape that school subjects take is of great consequence to the long-term development of related sciences.

Texto completoResumen
This dissertation seeks to understand what role the public plays, through CLIs (Commission of Local Information), in the governance of nuclear safety. It presents an in-depth longitudinal case from the French nuclear sector and proposes a pragmatist framework to study the construction and maintenance of the public over time. The author analyzes the circumstances in which the people potentially impacted by nuclear activities can become active participants in the governance of such high-risk industries, and how they can organize themselves and build a common voice. The dissertation establishes that when CLIs play both the role of a “Generalized Other” representing the public’s voice, and the role of a civil provider of second opinions, able to discuss the complex subjects at stake, they become a powerful and legitimate stakeholder in nuclear safety governance. In such circumstances, CLIs should be able to conduct investigations that are both commonsensical and technical. These characteristics would make CLI-led investigations all the more rich and useful for the governance of nuclear safety. The technical aspect (with the help of experts and specialists) would reinforce the legitimacy of such investigations in the eyes of nuclear actors, and their commonsensical or “layman’s view” aspect would provide an alternative view of nuclear questions in the safety debate, potentially leading to creative ways of addressing the issues and situations at stake.

Given the foreseeable pervasiveness of artificial intelligence (AI) in modern societies, it is legitimate and necessary to ask the question how this new technology must be shaped to support the maintenance and strengthening of constitutional democracy. This paper first describes the four core elements of today's digital power concentration, which need to be seen in cumulation and which, seen together, are both a threat to democracy and to functioning markets. It then recalls the experience with the lawless Internet and the relationship between technology and the law as it has developed in the Internet economy and the experience with GDPR before it moves on to the key question for AI in democracy, namely which of the challenges of AI can be safely and with good conscience left to ethics, and which challenges of AI need to be addressed by rules which are enforceable and encompass the legitimacy of democratic process, thus laws. The paper closes with a call for a new culture of incorporating the principles of democracy, rule of law and human rights by design in AI and a three-level technological impact assessment for new technologies like AI as a practical way forward for this purpose. This article is part of a theme issue ‘Governing artificial intelligence: ethical, legal, and technical opportunities and challenges’.

This paper critically examines three intersectional hegemonic forces of maintaining a surveillance regime—the triad of colonialism, anti-communism, and neo-liberalism—that I argue are necessary for decolonizing surveillance studies in South Korea. I discuss South Korea’s Resident Registration System (RRS) as the contemporary incarnation of modern colonial power’s control over its colonial subjects, calling into question the maintenance of the colonial legacies within RRS policy innovations. I critically examine the way in which the legitimacy of neo-liberal surveillance is embraced by the anti-privacy scheme entrenched in the colonial and anti-communism legacies that relentlessly allows state power to control and intervene in individual realms. Questioning the triad of colonialism, anti-communism, and neo-liberalism can recast a critical work for decolonizing surveillance studies in South Korea.
