legitimacy crisis  

Définition

  • In a political system with widespread features of governance, a legitimacy crisis occurs if there is a loss of faith in the way governance processes operate. Some actions of the state may not be perceived as justified, and if such lack of faith becomes widespread, the whole system of government may lose its credibility in the population.
