A CRISIS OF LEGITIMACY

A CRISIS OF LEGITIMACY
Legitimacy is:
the capacity of a political system to
engender and maintain the belief
that existing political institutions are
the most appropriate and proper
ones for the society.

A SECOND WAVE OF DEMOCRACY
If the first wave of democracy established
elected and accountable institution of
governance, but with a weak public
mandate and an inert citizenry …
… the second wave will be characterized
by strong representation and a new
culture of public deliberation built on
active citizenship.

Paradigm shifts involve dislocation, conflict, confusion,
uncertainty. New paradigms are nearly always received with
coolness, even mockery or hostility. Those with vested
interests fight the change. The shift demands such a different
view of things that established leaders are often last to
be won over, if at all.
