Legitimacy in International Relations and the Rise and Fall of Yugoslavia

Více o knize

The book presents a conceptual model of legitimacy in international relations, contrasting it with Weberian and legal frameworks. It emphasizes the interplay between the systemic value of order, a liberal state ideal, and a free-market economy. Although primarily focused on Western perspectives, the examination of Yugoslavia's rise and fall, along with international reactions, suggests broader applicability and reinforces the model's value as an analytical tool in understanding legitimacy.
