Are Max Weber's famous principles of legitimacy still relevant today? Numerous recent or recurring events (riots, institutional crisis, rise of conspiracy, abstention...), revealing deeper disturbances, force us to re-examine the foundations of consent to authority.
This is what this symposium sets out to examine, by questioning two hypotheses: is legitimacy being reconfigured, or is it being refounded? To answer this question, we'll be looking at legitimacy as a principle, as well as recent developments, notably in the international arena (including the European Union), the relationship with the media (in the age of networks and conspiracies) or the environmental imperative, a potential new source of legitimacy.
Nearly thirty speakers will discuss this highly topical subject.
