	AALI \| Legitimacy to Lead
		Legitimacy, however, requires not only that a source of authority be obtained, but that trust in the use of that power is also present largely due to the mutual commitment of leader and constituent to a common set of norms.
		It is useful to recognize that legitimacy is based upon norms that are socially valid and that are truthful and morally grounded to the condition of the group and its perspective.
		The implication of this typology is that legitimacy is a resource that governs values and process, but as it is dependent upon external factors outside the group, it necessarily includes endorsement and other resource provision.

	Foreign Affairs - The Sources of American Legitimacy - Robert W. Tucker and David C. Hendrickson
		Legitimacy arises from the conviction that state action proceeds within the ambit of law, in two senses: first, that action issues from rightful authority, that is, from the political institution authorized to take it; and second, that it does not violate a legal or moral norm.
		Although it is certainly true that the protection the United States accorded Western Europe from Soviet expansionism conferred legitimacy on U.S. power, it is equally true that allied diplomats repeatedly justified this enterprise in terms of its conformity with the principles of the UN Charter and its rule forbidding aggression.
		The legitimacy of U.S. power was also enhanced by Washington's commitment to consensual modes of decision-making, a commitment that stemmed from the democratic character of the U.S. polity and that was reflected in the flurry of institution building that occurred during and after World War II.

	Legitimacy
		Since legitimacy impacts the different forms of power in different ways, this may be a better way of clarifying the sources of, and need for, legitimacy.

	"Legitimacy" in International Affairs: The American Perspective in Theory and Operation
		It is, therefore, unequivocally the U.S. view that the legitimacy of Iraq’s next government must ultimately derive from the Iraqi populace, and not from other individuals, institutions or governments, not from theologians, not from academics, not from the United States, and not from the United Nations.
		This is a fundamental precondition for understanding the legitimacy of the use of any governmental power, and yet it has been fundamentally misunderstood in the UN system.
		The question of legitimacy is frequently raised as a veiled attempt to restrain American discretion in undertaking unilateral action, or multilateral action taken outside the confines of an international organization, even when our actions are legitimated by the operation of that Constitutional system.

		Hence if the legitimacy of European institutions was not considered problematic through most of their history, the reason may well have been that European policies were not thought to violate politically salient interests.
		The legitimacy of EU policies adopted in the supranational mode is originally rooted in the intergovernmental agreement on the relevant Treaty provisions.
		As a consequence, the legitimacy of international agreements would either depend on outcomes that avoid violations of politically salient interests, or it must be covered by the blanket electoral accountability of the governments and parliamentary majorities that have agreed to them.

		If their definition of legitimacy has proved conveniently flexible in recent years, it is because legitimacy is a genuinely elusive and malleable concept.
		The problem of legitimacy is a good deal more complex today because the emergence of a unipolar era coincided with two other historical developments: the proliferation of WMD and the rise of international terrorism, both of which seem more threatening to Americans than to Europeans.

		It may seem innocuous to suggest that the measure of legitimacy of regimes is fundamentally tied to discursive justifiability.

	Legality and Legitimacy.
		To read LEGALITY AND LEGITIMACY in the context of his earlier publications is to see that the book constitutes something of a culmination of twenty years of Schmitt’s thinking and writing.
		Legal procedures cannot adequately secure a political system’s legitimacy because a regime of robust legal proceduralism is vulnerable to a perfectly legal means for undermining the very rule of law that proceduralism seeks.
		The legal community’s legitimacy should, according to Schmitt, reside not in procedural norms but in the substantive preferences of the executive.
