This book addresses the consequences of legitimacy in global governance, in particular asking: when and how do legitimacy crises affect international organizations (IOs) and their capacity to rule. The book starts with a new conceptualization of legitimacy crisis that looks at public challenges from a variety of actors. Based on this conceptualization, it applies a mixed-methods approach to identify and examine legitimacy crises, starting with a quantitative analysis of mass media data on challenges of a sample of 32 IOs. It shows that some, but not all organizations have experienced legitimacy crises, spread over several decades from 1985 to 2020. Following this, the book presents a qualitative study to further examine legitimacy crises of two selected case studies: the WTO and the UNFCCC. Whereas earlier research assumed that legitimacy crises have negative consequences, the book introduces a theoretical framework that privileges the activation inherent in a legitimacy crisis. It holds that this activation may not only harm an IO, but could also strengthen it, in terms of its material, institutional, and decision-making capacity. The following statistical analysis shows that whether a crisis has predominantly negative or positive effects depends on a variety of factors. These include the specific audience whose challenges define a certain crisis, and several institutional properties of the targeted organization. The ensuing in-depth analysis of the WTO and the UNFCCC further reveals how legitimacy crises and both positive and negative consequences are interlinked, and that effects of crises are sometimes even visible beyond the organizational borders

This book explores processes of legitimation and delegitimation of global governance institutions (GGIs). How, why, and with what impact on audiences, are GGIs legitimated and delegitimated? The book develops a comprehensive theoretical framework for studying processes of (de)legitimation in global governance and provides broad comparative analyses to uncover patterns of (de)legitimation processes. It covers a diverse set of global and regional governmental and nongovernmental institutions in different policy fields. Variation across these GGIs is explained with reference to institutional setup, policy field characteristics, and broader social structures, as well as to the qualities of agents of (de)legitimation. The approach builds on a mixed-methods research design that uses both quantitative and qualitative new empirical data. Three main interlinked elements of processes of legitimation and delegitimation are at the center of the analysis: the varied practices employed by different state and non-state agents that may boost or challenge the legitimacy of global governance institutions; the normative justifications that these agents draw on when engaging in legitimation and delegitimation practices; and the different audiences that may be impacted by legitimation and delegitimation. This results in a dynamic interplay between legitimation and delegitimation in contestation over the legitimacy of GGIs

"Forms of institutional governance critically shape the culture, creativity and academic outcomes of higher education. The book provides a new, updated and research based account of the changing face of the governance of British higher education. Historically, British universities were deemed amongst the most, if not the most, autonomous in Europe, with governance rooted in their collegial disciplinary structures. This assessment must now be decisively revised, although the belief systems deriving from it remain buried deep in university culture. Drawing on the authors' investigation of the governance of higher education in the four UK nations, including extensive on-site interviews, and discussions with government policy-makers, the book shows how global, national and system level pressures have changed the face both of the external governance of higher education institutions and how universities govern themselves. Government priorities, new funding methodologies and marketisation have all played a part in this process. Since the mid-1980s, there have been drastic changes in the external environment, reinforced by the increasing diversity within the higher education system as a whole and between the national sub-systems. In addition a new private sector of higher education has been created. New forms of institutional governance are emerging which may have profound effects on research and teaching and on academic creativity and innovation. The study discusses the effects of a state regulated system compared with the more heterarchical system which preceded it. It offers a comparison of the effects of devolved governance to Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland on the respective higher education systems and their impact on institutional governance. The study concludes that England is becoming increasingly an outlier, and discusses the long term implications for the coherence of a British higher education system"--Bloomsbury Education and Childhood Studies

1947년 일본헌법과 더불어 제정된 지방자치법은 중앙정부로부터 독자적 직접선거를 통한 입법부와 행정부 선출을 명시하며 일본의 중앙-지방관계를 규정한다. 특히 1980년대 이후 분권화는 세계화와 맞물려 잠시나마 좌우 이념의 간극에도 불구하고 드물게 의견의 합치를 이룬 정책 목표다. 본 논문은 자치체의 행정체계 정비를 포함해 자치체의 효율적 운영, 주민의 의견 반영 및 공정한 국정운용을 제고하려는 일본의 로컬 거버넌스가 궁극적으로 행정개혁, 시민참여, 그리고 균형발전을 동시에 두 가지 이상 성취하기 어려운 삼중고(trilemma)에 봉착한다는 설명 틀을 2003년 지방자치법 개정 전후 일본의 중앙-지방 관계 변화에 적용하고자 한다. 이에 따라 2절에서 일본 중앙-지방 관계의 발전사를 검토하고, 3절에서 로컬 거버넌스의 기존연구들을 정리한 후, 4절에서 2000년 지방분권일괄법이 실행되고 2003년 지방자치법 개정으로 이어진 과정에서 지방분권 개혁이 어떻게 전개되었는지 로컬 거버넌스의 삼중고(trilemma) 관점에서 보완하여 설명한다. 그리고 1990년대 이후에 지방자치법이 명시한 법적 권리를 넘어 헌법에 명시되어 있으나 실제로는 적극적으로 활용하지 않았던 시민의 직접적 정치참여에 대한 관심이 고조되는 배경을 검토하며 일본의 로컬 거버넌스에 대한 전망을 제시하고자 한다. ; Enacted along with the Japanese Constitution in 1947, the Local Autonomy Law established the directly elected head of executive and legislature at the local level, independent of the central government. Especially since the 1980s, an outcry for decentralization in a global age managed to put together a consensus across liberal and conservative wings, albeit its brevity. While striving for a thorough reorganization in local administration, an efficient management of local government and a participatory democracy at the local level, however, local governance encounters a trilemma of local reform, civic engagement, and balanced development. I purport to reconstruct the Japanese intergovernmental relations before and after the 2003 revision of the Local Autonomy Law in the context of a trilemma in local governance. In so doing, I lay out previous theoretical works on local governance and trace a unique path of intergovernmental relations in Japan, followed by an overview of local reforms and reorganizations since the Omnibus Law of Decentralization was launched in 2000. I conclude with my speculation about the prospect of Japanese local governance heightened by the overdue civic activism in recent years. ; OAIID:oai:osos.snu.ac.kr:snu2012-01/102/0000040203/1 ; SEQ:1 ; PERF_CD:SNU2012-01 ; EVAL_ITEM_CD:102 ; USER_ID:0000040203 ; ADJUST_YN:Y ; EMP_ID:A076716 ; DEPT_CD:216 ; CITE_RATE:0 ; FILENAME:12_21세기2203.hwp ; DEPT_NM:정치외교학부 ; EMAIL:okyeonh@snu.ac.kr ; SCOPUS_YN:N ; CONFIRM:Y
