Legitimacy is an essential conceptin politics. But what is it? This book seeks to answer this question throughadopting Weber's sociological approach to legitimacy. Weber argues that weshould not only understand legitimacy from the perspective of the politicalorder, but that we should also look at its subjective meaning. If this approachseems to have fallen into discredit since Weber formulated it almost a centuryago, Netelenbos argues that we need to bring back the subjective into politicalsociology and theory. Political Legitimacy beyondWeber argues that contemporary politics inlate-modern society cannot merely be understood in terms of legitimatedomination or formal bureaucratic organisation. Politics is also aboutstrategic conflict, coordination and argumentation. Based upon thesedifferent conceptualisations of politics andby critically evaluating some of the most leading sociologies, Netelenbospresents four analytical perspectives of political legitimacy. Providingcrucial insights into the multiple dimensions of political legitimacy, thiswill be an essential tool for both empirical and normative research.
