  • Book Description

    Rulers of all kinds, from military despots to democratic presidents, spend a lot of time convincing themselves of their right to be in charge. In an important and original new survey, Legitimating Identities draws on a growing body of research in political science, history, and sociology to show how governments of all kinds devote time, resources, and energy to cultivating their own sense of who they are, not for the benefit or persuasion of the public, but for their own self-justification and esteem.
