Rebuilding Government Legitimacy in Post-conflict Societies: Case Studies of Nepal and Afghanistan.

摘要

Legitimacy is central to citizens' perception and acceptance of power and authority. As such, rebuilding institutional legitimacy is essential for stability in post-conflict societies. In this project we explore the factors that lead citizens to view their government as legitimate following the reconstruction of central government institutions after a conflict. We draw on a broad range of theories to investigate post-conflict legitimacy in Nepal.
