International institutions have developed into a site of political authority of their own as can be seen by looking at a number of authority indicators. The concept of international authority, however, is intimately bound to the concept of legitimacy. The stronger the role that international institutions play in policymaking, the stronger the demands for their legitimacy that can be expected to arise. Against this background, we ask which of the state powers analysed in this special issue prefer which form of legitimation of international institutions, whether their general conceptions of legitimacy diverge or converge, and what this means for the future of global governance.

The study examines the multifaceted nature of legitimacy in the context of international law, elucidating its paramount importance for the law's authority and its pervasive influence on the applicability of legal norms globally. The pressing relevance of this inquiry emerges from the challenges posed by the application of international law in complex scenarios such as military interventions and global governance, which necessitate a refined comprehension of legitimacy's contours. The research's objective is to dissect the essence, theoretical frameworks, and practical dimensions of legitimacy, thereby elucidating its pivotal role and manifestations within the international legal order. The principal findings underscore that legitimacy in international law transcends mere legal validity, embedding itself within a broader ethical and communicative framework that demands consideration of justice, human rights, and international peace and security. Legitimacy is found to be inherently dynamic, shaped significantly by the interactive processes among global actors and the consensus within the international interpretative community on ethical and legal standards. The study highlights the crucial role of narrative and argumentation in legitimizing or delegitimizing actions under international law, illustrating how perceptions of legitimacy can evolve and influence international legal practices and decisions. The nuanced understanding of legitimacy gleaned from this research contributes to a more precise conceptualization of its role, emphasizing its indispensable function in guiding the application of international law, enhancing global governance, and promoting a more equitable and just international order.

How and under what conditions does legitimacy affect processes of international institutional change? This article specifies and evaluates three causal mechanisms by which variation in legitimacy induces institutional change in international organizations (IOs) and argues that an important, yet hitherto neglected, source of legitimacy-based change is cognitive in nature. Using survival analysis, we evaluate these mechanisms with a novel dataset on the establishment of parliamentary institutions in thirty-six regional organizations between 1950 and 2010. We find that the empowerment of supranational secretariats, engagement with the European Union, and parliamentarization in an organization's neighborhood increase the likelihood of regional parliamentarization. This suggests that legitimacy judgments that draw on cognitive referents provide an important source of international institutional change. We illustrate the underlying cognitive emulation mechanism with a case study of parliamentarization in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations.
