Mehr zum Buch

Legitimacy in international relations is examined through a historical and theoretical lens, particularly in the context of significant events like the war on terror and the Iraq war. The author, Clark, articulates how legitimacy is not merely a legal concept but a politically charged condition intertwined with consensus, values, and power dynamics. This comprehensive analysis sheds light on the complexities of how legitimacy is constructed and perceived in contemporary global discourse, making it a vital read for understanding international politics.
