Recenzje

“Legitimacy is unstable terrain. Fault lines mark the movement of its legal, normative and political tectonic plates: this results in release of pressure, some beneficial adjustment, and periodic shocks. It is this terrain – human rights, military intervention, peacekeeping, and international administration – that is mapped by a distinguished group of analysts. They have given us a very valuable addition to the growing literature on international legitimacy.”
--Ian Clark, ESRC Professorial Fellow and E H Carr Professor, Department of International Politics, Aberystwyth University
