Legitimacy Crisis

Book •
Jürgen Habermas's work on legitimation crises explores how advanced industrial societies can experience declining legitimacy when institutions cannot integrate social demands.

He examines the strains between system imperatives and the lifeworld, arguing that administrative expansion can erode public legitimacy.

Habermas highlights the need for communicative rationality and public discourse to restore legitimacy.

His analysis links economic, political, and cultural processes to democratic stability.

The concept of a 'legitimation crisis' has become central to debates about democratic erosion and institutional trust.
