Rational Legitimacy

Meer over het boek

Exploring the legitimacy of governments, this book challenges the conventional belief that citizens' acceptance is primarily shaped by political culture and socialization. Ronald Rogowski posits that decisions regarding government legitimacy can be understood through the lens of rational choice theory, suggesting a more analytical approach to political behavior. This perspective invites readers to reconsider the motivations behind citizens' acceptance or rejection of their governments, emphasizing the role of rational decision-making in political science.
