description

Is there a legitimacy crisis in contemporary democracies? This question, asked since the beginning of the 1970s, has been currently undergoing a revival (Kriesi in Politische Vierteljahresschrift 54:609–638, 2013; Fuchs and Escher in The Legitimacy of Regional Integration in Europe and the Americas. Palgrave Macmillan: Houndsmill/Basingstoke, pp. 75–97, 2015; Merkel in Krise der Demokratie. Zum schwierigen Verhaltnis von Theorie und Empirie. Springer VS: Wiesbaden, 2015; Wessels in How Europeans View and Evaluate Democracy. Oxford University Press: Oxford, pp. 235–256, 2016; Van Ham et al. in Myth and Reality of the Legitimacy Crisis. Explaining Trends and Cross-National Differences in Established Democracies. Oxford University Press: Oxford, 2017). For a long time, the question has been raised with reference to Western democracies only. Now, it is increasingly being posed for all democracies in the world.
