Abstract
AbstractThis chapter examines levels and patterns of elite legitimacy beliefs. It draws upon data from the LegGov Elite Survey. This survey covers 14 global governance institutions of various types (intergovernmental, transgovernmental, and private), six diverse countries (Brazil, Germany, the Philippines, Russia, South Africa, and the US), and six elite sectors (business, civil society, government bureaucracy, media political parties, and research). The discussion first examines elite legitimacy beliefs toward global governance in the aggregate and then disaggregates the data by organization, by country, by organization within each country, and by elite sector. Overall, the survey results suggest that contemporary elites hold moderately high levels of legitimacy beliefs toward global governance institutions. Regarding specific institutions, elites tend to give higher approval to human security international organizations as compared to economic international organizations, and to older intergovernmental agencies as compared to newer institutional designs. Elites in Brazil, Germany, the Philippines, and the US generally ascribe more legitimacy to international organizations than elites in Russia and South Africa. In general, bureaucratic, research, and business elites show higher legitimacy beliefs toward international organizations than media, party-political, and civil society elites.
