The legitimacy of proximity. 330 $aIt's a commonplace that citizens in Western democracies are disaffected with their political leaders and traditional democratic institutions. But in Democratic Legitimacy, Pierre Rosanvallon, one of today's leading political thinkers, argues that this crisis of confidence is partly a crisis of understanding. He makes the case that the sources of democratic legitimacy have shifted and multiplied over the past thirty years and that we need to comprehend and make better use of these new sources of legitimacy in order to strengthen our political self-belief and commitment to democracy. Drawing on examples from France and the United States, Rosanvallon notes that there has been a major expansion of independent commissions, NGOs, regulatory authorities, and watchdogs in recent decades. At the same time, constitutional courts have become more willing and able to challenge legislatures. These institutional developments, which serve the democratic values of impartiality and reflexivity, have been accompanied by a new attentiveness to what Rosanvallon calls the value of proximity, as governing structures have sought to find new spaces for minorities, the particular, and the local. To improve our democracies, we need to use these new sources of legitimacy more effectively and we need to incorporate them into our accounts of democratic government. An original contribution to the vigorous international debate about democratic authority and legitimacy, this promises to be one of Rosanvallon's most important books. 606 $aDemocracy 606 $aLegitimacy of governments 610 $aWestern democracy. 610 $aadministration. 610 $aadministrative-executive power. 610 $aappropriation. 610 $abureaucracies. 610 $abureaucracy. 610 $acare. 610 $acitizens. 610 $acivic life. 610 $aconstitution. 610 $aconstitutional courts. 610 $aconstitutional judges. 610 $aconstitutional oversight. 610 $aconstitutional review. 610 $aconstitutional thought. 610 $acorporatism. 610 $acountermajoritarian difficulty. 610 $ademocracy. 610 $ademocratic authority. 610 $ademocratic ideals. 610 $ademocratic impartiality. 610 $ademocratic institution. 610 $ademocratic institutions. 610 $ademocratic legitimacy. 610 $ademocratic systems. 610 $aderivative legitimacy. 610 $adirect relations. 610 $adual legitimacy. 610 $aelections. 610 $aelectoral legitimation. 610 $aelectoral politics. 610 $aexecutive functions. 610 $aflexible relations. 610 $ageneral interest. 610 $agenerality. 610 $agovernment initiatives. 610 $agovernment intervention. 610 $agovernment. 610 $aidentification. 610 $aidentity politics. 610 $aimmediate democracy. 610 $aimpartiality. 610 $aindependent authorities. 610 $aindependent commissions. 610 $aindirect democracy. 610 $ainformal relations. 610 $ainteractive democracy. 610 $ajudicial power. 610 $ajudicial powers. 610 $alegitimacy. 610 $amajority rule. 610 $amodern individualistic states. 610 $amultiplication. 610 $anew democratic institutions. 610 $anumerical unanimity. 610 $aoversight function. 610 $aparticipatory democracy. 610 $aparticularity. 610 $apluralization. 610 $apolitical community. 610 $apolitical investment. 610 $apolitical leaders. 610 $apolitical legitimacy. 610 $apolitical obligation. 610 $apolitical representatives. 610 $apresence. 610 $aproximity. 610 $arational administration. 610 $areflexive democracy. 610 $areflexivity. 610 $aregulatory function. 610 $arepresentation. 610 $asocial existence. 610 $asocial expectations. 610 $asocial gaze. 610 $asubstantive unanimity. 610 $aunanimity. 610 $aunelected judges. 610 $aunpolitical democracy. 615 0$aDemocracy. 615 0$aLegitimacy of governments. 676 $a321.8 700 $aRosanvallon$b Pierre$f1948-$0118460 701 $aGoldhammer$b Arthur$0299627 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910790047603321 996 $aDemocratic legitimacy$93797324 997 $aUNINA
