Description: Violence and Legitimacy by Volker Sellin Als legitime Form der Herrschaft galt in Europa Über ein Jahrtausend lang die Monarchie. Erst Aufklärung und Revolution stellten die Legitimität der Monarchie in Frage. In einem europaweiten Vergleich, der meisterhaft Politik- und Kulturgeschicht FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Benjamin Constant distinguished two kinds of government: unlawful government based on violence, and legitimate government based on the general will. In Europe monarchy was for over a thousand years considered the natural form of legitimate government. The sources of its legitimacy were the dynastic principle, religion, and the ability to protect against foreign aggression. At the end of the eighteenth century the revolutions in America and France called into question the traditional legitimacy of monarchy, but Volker Sellin shows that in response to this challenge monarchy opened up new sources of legitimacy by concluding alliances with constitutionalism, nationalism, and social reform. In some cases the age of revolution brought on a new type of leader, basing his claim to power on charisma. Review "every chapter is distinguished by original insight, cogent argument and a rich variety of illustration. It is also very well-written. No one interested in the period will fail to find stimulation and enjoyment." Tim Blanning, Cambridge, in: Francia "Dieses Buch ist höchst lesenswert und unterhaltsam geschrieben. Die Studie beeindruckt durch eine breite europäische Perspektive, die dank der Mehrsprachigkeit Volker Sellins auf nationalen Geschichtsschreibungen beruht. Die exemplarischen Themenfelder und vergleichenden Fallstudien sind sehr gut ausgewählt und gekonnt miteinander in Verbindung gesetzt."
