'The Legitimacy of Global Governance Institutions':
Legitimacy has both a normative and a sociological meaning. To say that an institution is legitimate in the normative sense is to assert that is has the right to rule--where ruling includes promulgating rules and attempting to secure compliance with them by attaching costs to non-compliance and/or benefits to compliance. An institution is legitimate in the sociological sense when it is widely believed to have the right to rule.
