In one way or another, these problems raise the question of the legitimacy of the established powers. The result is that legitimacy, a key notion of political thought in general, has today become a burning issue. Coicaud examines all these issues and proffers insightful answers to questions such as the connections between morality and politics, how rulers acquire or lose the right to govern, and how one can become the advocate of a theory of political justice that, while establishing limits, respects and even ensures the promotion of plurality within societies. 517 3 $aLegitimacy & Politics 606 $aLegitimacy of governments 606 $aPolitical obligation 606 $aRule of law 615 0$aLegitimacy of governments. 615 0$aPolitical obligation. 615 0$aRule of law. 676 $a320/.01/1 700 $aCoicaud$b Jean-Marc$0261624 702 $aCurtis$b David Ames 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910450178703321 996 $aLegitimacy and politics$91903630 997 $aUNINA
