Abstract
Legitimacy has emerged as a key concern for global governance scholarship. There is growing recognition that legitimacy matters in international affairs, both from a normative perspective and because the lack of a broad-based legitimacy base makes it difficult for IOs to govern effectively. This report explores the sources of and challenges to IO legitimacy across all the domains included in the GLOBE project, namely climate change, development, finance, investment, migration, security, and trade. Based on a detailed GLOBE expert survey, it evaluates IOs in these issue areas against a selection of normative criteria – participation and equitable representation, transparency, accountability, and quality of output – with a view to enabling cross-domain comparison. It also sheds light on the drivers of legitimacy contestation in each issue area as well as the diversity of strategies IOs have used to (re-)legitimize themselves. In doing so, it reveals cross-cutting tensions and challenges but also major differences between IOs when it comes to legitimacy challenges and institutional responses.
