Xxxxxxxx, Legitimacy and Power Sample Clauses

Xxxxxxxx, Legitimacy and Power. Xxxxxxxx believes legitimacy of political power has two sources: Normative authority of a judge-king enjoying a superior reputation, and social power authorised by sacred law. For the second type of legitimacy, political power and law bind together through the institutionalisation of offices that provide the exercise of political authority with an administrative staff; a model he calls state-organised authority. Xxxxxxx, law and political power intensify each other: “Not only does law now legitimate political power; power can make use of law as a means of organizing political rule” (Xxxxxxxx, 1998, p142). Xxxxxxxx in Between Facts and Norms (1998) argues that any society must benefit from mechanisms of action cooperation and mutual understanding to resolve conflicts. According to him, these mechanisms can be of two forms: Either regulation of a conflict caused by the clash of individual action orientation, or with cooperative realisation of collective goals. In Xxxxxxxx‟ debate two contradictory forms of power can be realised: The power that is impossible for anyone to possess called communicative power, and a power that facilitates state‟s domination called administrative power. In developing communicative power theory, he is influenced by Xxxxxx. He quotes from her; “power springs up between men when they act together and it vanishes the moment they disperse…power corresponds to the human ability not just to act but to act in concert” (Xxxxxx as cited by Xxxxxxxx, 1998, p147-148). Xxxxxx‟s idea about power is the founding of institutions through collective decisions and the creation of legitimate law. In Xxxxxxxx‟ view, Xxxxxx‟s communicative power theory lacks the political exercise of administrative and executive function: “the agreement between words and deeds may be the yardstick for a regime‟s legitimacy” (Xxxxxxxx, 1998, p150). The role of law, as Xxxxxxxx indicates here becomes helpful in translating communicative power into administrative power. Xxxxxxxx continues to prevent abuse of dominating powers over administrative systems. Communicative power must be the only source that permits administrative power to regenerate and administrative power should not reproduce itself on its own terms; any illegitimate intervention of social power must be prohibited. In Xxxxxxxx‟ model, moral values and citizen‟s institutionalised will (laws) are separated. “Whereas moral rules…express a universal will pure and simple, laws also give expression to the particu...
