Law and Legitimacy

Law and legitimacyis an anthology arising from an interdisciplinary investigation into the relationship between law and legitimacy. In dealing with this time honored problematic, the collection offers a variety of new perspectives and a range of issues are discussed, including the legitimacy of the international criminal court, EU’s regulation of smoking and tobacco and the protection of consumers. The authors draw not only on legal sources in their investigations, but also on philosophy, history and sociology for a truly interdisciplinary approach.Indholdsoversigt ContributorsIntroduction to Law and Legitimacy -by Per AndersenFrom Jean Bodin to Michael Böss – On Legitimacy and Legitimacy Crises in a Historical Perspective -by Jørgen Dalberg-LarsenIn the Name of the Law – How Consistency Can Enhance Legal Legitimacy -by Bjarke ViskumThe International Criminal Court and the Legitimacy of Exercise -by Thomas Obel Hansen Towards Legitimacy in Above-National Rule-Making: Provedurelisation in Multi-Stakeholder Public Regulation -by Karin Buhmann Consumer Protection and the Internal Market -by Tanja JørgensenIn Search of Legitimacy in Regulating Tobacco and Smoking -by Matthew J.
