State legitimacy matters because it transforms power into authority and provides the basis for rule by consent, rather than by coercion. In fragile situations, a lack of legitimacy undermines constructive relations between the state and society, and thus compounds fragility. Multiple sources of legitimacy often compete and conflict, leaving the state unable to impose the ultimate rules of the game. Donors working in fragile environments have paid relatively little attention to legitimacy, instead concentrating their efforts on capacity development and institution building as a way of strengthening state effectiveness. The State’s Legitimacy in Fragile Situations urges donors to pay much more attention to legitimacy. It also invites them to broaden their understanding to encompass aspects of legitimacy that derive from people’s shared beliefs and traditions, not just from Western state models. Finally, it encourages donors to monitor the impact of their interventions so as to avoid undermining state legitimacy. The publication concludes with practical recommendations on how donors can support better relations between state and society in fragile situations.

De la famille à la politique, la crise de l'autorité touche à peu près tous les responsables dans toutes les institutions. La perte de légitimité du politique et la crise des Gilets jaunes offrent une illustration frappante des raisonnements développés dans cet ouvrage. L'enjeu n'est pas d'apprendre à vivre sans autorité, mais d'engendrer des formes d'autorité plus respectueuses des valeurs de notre temps. Pour l'essentiel, la crise de l'autorité est une bonne nouvelle, son érosion engage toute notre modernité et rien ne saurait justifier de faire machine arrière. Il reste que ce déclin affecte en profondeur nos formes de vie et nos institutions. Partout, le besoin d'autorité se fait sentir, mais une autorité au service de la démocratie, du débat public, des droits et des devoirs, de la justice et l'équité, de la transmission des valeurs fondamentales, de la défense du commun contre l'emprise des intérêts privés, de l'adaptation des modes de vie à l'urgence écologique. Tout retour en arrière est proscrit : l'autorité est donc à réinventer.
