After anarchy: legitimacy and power in the United Nations Security Council
The politics of legitimacy is central to international relations. When states perceive an international organization as legitimate, they defer to it, associate themselves with it, and invoke its symbols. Examining the United Nations Security Council, Ian Hurd demonstrates how legitimacy is created, used, and contested in international relations. The Council's authority depends on its legitimacy, and therefore its legitimation and delegitimation are of the highest importance to states.

Die UN-Sanktionen gegen Libyen zu Beginn der 90er Jahre setzten im UN-Sicherheitsrat eine Kontroverse über die Interpretation der zentralen Rechtsnormen in den internationalen Beziehungen in Gang. Internationale Prinzipien wie Rechtstaatlichkeit, Unschuldsvermutung und Respekt vor der Autorität internationaler Organisationen wurden in dieser Kontroverse sowohl von Befürwortern als auch von Gegner der Sanktionen zur Rechtfertigung ihrer Position angeführt. Somit verdeutlicht diese Kontroverse dreierlei: Erstens, wie bedeutend das Prinzip von Legitimität in den internationalen Beziehungen ist. Zweitens, dass dieses Prinzip symbolische Macht verleiht, um die sich jedes Land aus strategischen Gründen bemüht. Und drittens, dass die Verteilung dieser symbolischen Macht keineswegs mit der Verteilung der tatsächlichen, materiellen Macht korreliert. Daher ist es keineswegs unmöglich, dass offensichtlich starke Staaten von offensichtlich schwachen Staaten auf Grundlage der symbolischen Macht in einer internationalen Debatte besiegt werden können.
