Topic: Legitimation


In the News (Thu 8 Jan 09)

  
  CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Legitimation
An infant thus legitimated is held equal to legitimate children in all respects as to sacred orders and as to ecclesiastical dignities, except the cardinalate.
Such legitimation is termed plenior in canon law to distinguish it from the plena legitimation which is granted by papal rescript, and from the plenissima which follows on the radical validation of a marriage (sanatio in radice).
Canon law and the Roman civil law are not in accord in the matter of legitimation, as the latter restricts the privilege to children born of concubinage, whose parents afterwards married.

Legitimation is the process by which a legislator is authorized to promulgate such a law as a norm.
In this case legitimation is the process by which a "legislator" dealing with scientific discourse is authorized to prescribe the stated conditions (in general, conditions of internal consistency and experimental verification) determining whether a statement is to be included in that discourse by the scientific community.
Next, Lyotard states: "Legitimation is the process by which a legislator is authorized to promulgate such a law as a norm." That is, legitimation is the process by which the legislator can turn a statement into a law that people must follow.

A legitimation crisis arises as soon as the demands for such rewards rise faster than the available quantity of value, or when expectations arise that cannot be satisfied with such rewards.
Offe and his collaborators question whether the form of procuring legitimation does not make it necessary for competing parties to outbid one another in their programs and thereby raise the expectations of the population ever higher and higher.
A legitimation crisis then, must be based on a motivation crisis--that is, a discrepancy between the need for motives declared by the state, the educational system and the occupational system on the one hand, and the motivation supplied by the socio-cultural system on the other.

All governments need to legitimize their rule, to justify their right to power, to promote their authority as a means to gaining popular support, or at least, acquiescence, without which they are likely to collapse.
The aim of Habermas' Legitimation Crisis (1973) was to try and identify the crisis points within advanced capitalist societies and how the modern state continues both to manage such crises and maintain the legitimacy of the capitalist system.
Legitimation in late capitalist societies is thus primarily based on ideological control, on the ability of the state and cultural apparatus (including media) to convince the masses that the existing system is just, fair, rational, and so, legitimate.

 LEGITIMATION AND CULTURALISM: TOWARDS POLICING CHANGES IN THE EUROPEAN `POST-SOCIALIST' COUNTRIES   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Whereas the legitimation approach conducts its analysis of policing systems by examining the impact of policing on the socio-political factors of society, the culturalistic approach focuses its attention on the observation that it is socio-political factors which influence police behaviour and activity.
The legitimation approach employs a dialectical method of analysis which allows for a continuing investigation of the interrelationship between the legitimacy, structure and function of police.
The legitimation approach, by constructing its analyses of policing systems through the concepts of legitimacy, structure and function, focuses its attention on the relationship between police, state and society.

The legitimation through inheritage seems to have been dependant of the mother of the king too (A strong example of the king's mother's role in the inheritage is the Choice of Aspelta (593-68 BC)for king.
She seems to perhaps be the last of royal blood, but for her sons to have a complete legitime claim for the thone it is required that both parents are of royal blood.
Consequently the principles of legitimation were also subject to change: the relationship between god and king, the perception of the king's position and functions, these changes expresses themselves in the changing formulations of the argument for the rulership (Otto 1969:411).

Legitimating arguments, then, must be arguments that are able to establish a moral duty to obey these collectively binding decisions even if they conflict with individual preferences.
But whereas the formal independence of the ECB, and the scope of its hierarchical authority, were legitimated by the explicit and highly politicized decisions of national governments and parliaments, much less political attention had accompanied the expansion of the judicial authority of the European Court of Justice (Weiler 1982).
They may perform an orienting and a legitimating function if they communicate the wider framework of ongoing policy controversies, the definition of the situation and the political aspirations in light of which problems and options can be meaningfully considered.

 Legitimation by Subsequent Marriage
The first appearance of legitimation by subsequent marriage is in commentaries on Gratian's Decretum in the 12th c., citing Justinian's law, and then explicitly through two papal decrees of Alexander III, dated 1172 and 1180, both later incorporated into canon law (in the Decretals, 4.17.6 and 4.17.1).
Legitimation occurs only if the father was domiciled in England and Wales at the time of birth of the child or of his own death if it occurred before.
Also, the Bavarian Landrecht limited legitimation to naturales children, and an Austrian law of 1791 required that the parents had been free to marry at the time of birth, but that was not retained in the GB of 1811, and a court decision of 1890 explicitly accepted that spurii could be legitimated by subsequent marriage.

 Protest against the Legitimation of Charlotte, Duchess of Albany, 1784
On March 30, 1783, King Charles III signed an Act of Legitimation by which he recognised his natural daughter, Charlotte, thus permitting her to succeed upon his death to his private estates.
This Act of Legitimation was forwarded to King Louis XVI of France who confirmed it and had it registered in the Parlement of Paris (the most important of the French law courts).
In the third place, he represents the irregularity of this pretended legitimation, which was not necessary to enable his brother to give to this person a fair subsistence, which he had already been bound in conscience to do for thirty years past.

 Stanford GSB: Stanford Business August 2002
A key theory put forward in the original paper by Hannan and Freeman is “density dependence,” which says that organizations’ vital rates—their founding rates, growth, and mortality—depend on the total number of organizations within the relevant population.
Legitimation is the process by which a certain way of doing things comes to be seen as natural or taken for granted.
However, the force of legitimation is stronger when the population density is rising from a low base, such as in the early history of an industry.

This paper explores state legitimation forms in education in a context of implementation of neoliberal policies.
It is argued that in a globalised and neoliberal context the state earns legitimation capacity by developing discourses and policies which favour accumulation processes.
Thus, from this point of view, legitimation is not only a consequence of a new agenda but it is also a set of problems that shape that agenda.

 A Turn To Scientific Analysis And Democratic Deliberation In Environmental Policy:
Political Risk, Legitimation ...
Legitimation Crisis (1975) and Richard Münch?s Risikopolitik (1996), respectively, are two cases in point.
The Habermasian line of analysis is concerned with the structural dilemmas of modern states in relationship to the capitalist market economy: Whereas economic vitality discourages regulating economic actors, the prevention of extreme social inequalities demands the firm hand of the state in order to avoid a crisis.
In essence legitimation crisis signals the contradictions of the political administrative system and its need to simultaneously secure the legality of private capital accumulation and assume the external costs of market dysfunctions to assure support for governmental activity (1975, p.

Legitimation of green advertising serves the need of legitimizing two aspects of the capitalist system: (1) consumption practice and (2) corporate power (Goldman and Papson 1996).
Legitimation links these two aspects together which is decried by consumer environmentalist activists as "(a) a superficial public relations effort to divert consumer attention from environmentally questionable corporate practices and (b) an attempt to dilute consumer interest" (Baker and Miner 26).
Robert Goldman defines "legitimation ads" as "an outgrowth of the culture industry’s mass marketing and wish fulfillment within a societal system fundamentally antagonistic to their realization"(87).

 Immanent Legitimation: Reflections on the Kami Concept
While it is not difficult to understand the Shinto claim of an immanent (non-transcendent) kami-nature, that quality alone may not explain the devotion which Shinto apologists pay to it --- particularly in the context of their criticisms of the association of kami with words like deity and god.
Instead, legitimation would appear to be immanent in the hierarchy of the Japanese social system itself, namely, a function of one's "proximity" to the line of descent linked most intimately to the original ground of being from which kami and all other existence derives.
In short, while neither omnipotent nor equivalent to the "original essence" from which the world emerged, Amaterasu remains the kami closest to that essence, and thus the highest and most noble of all, model for all other kami, and for her descendants, the historical emperors, who, in turn, serve as exemplars for their subjects.

 Héritier: Composite Democratic Legitimation in Europe: The Role of Transparency and Access to Information
It is comprised of diverse elements of democratic legitimation: the vertical legitimation through parliamentary representation in the EP; executive representation through delegates of democratically-elected governments in the Council of Ministers; horizontal mutual control among member states; associative and experts' representation (delegation) in policy networks (Benz 1998); and, finally, individual rights based legitimacy.
While transparency and access to information stress the input-oriented goals of democratic legitimation, that is the right to know who makes which decisions when, associative representation and negotiative democracy emphasise the output-oriented goals of democratic legitimation, that is government legitimation through policy performance accommodating the widest possible scope of interests.
Both input- and output-oriented legitimation are important and have to be viewed in their reciprocal relationship.
