The course will focus on contemporary theories of political legitimacy. We will read Arthur Isac Applbaum's recent book "Legitimacy. The Right to Rule in a Wanton World", with occasional forays into David Beetham's seminal "Legitimation of Power" and other, contemporary works on legitimacy. The main guiding questions of the course would thus be: How do the governments gain legitmacy? How do they maintain it? What are necessary conditions for it? What are the main differences between legitimate and illegitimate political power?
