Crynodeb:In recent years instances of corruption, extremism, and public distruct have increasingly raised the question of political legitimacy. Jean-Marc Coicaud examines the issueby looking at the conditions necessary for a 'rule of law' to exist. He argues that in a democracy the greater the powers given to a political leader, the greater that leader's responsibilities toward society.

This book will be of interest to political and social theorists and political philosophers
