A fragment of “Political Legitimacy, Authoritarianism, and Climate Change” by Ross Mittiga (featured in an issue of American Political Science Review)

American Political Science Review (2021) 1–14 doi:10.1017/S0003055421001301 OThe Author(s), 2021. Published by Cambridge University Press on behalf of American Political Science Association. Political Legitimacy, Authoritarianism, and Climate Change ROSS MITTIGA Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, Chile s authoritarian power ever legitimate? The contemporary political theory literature-which largely conceptualizes legitimacy in terms of democracy or basic rights-would seem to suggest not. I argue, I however, that there exists another, overlooked aspect of legitimacy concerning a government's ability to ensure safety and security. While, under normal conditions, maintaining democracy and rights is typically compatible with guaranteeing safety, in emergency situations, conflicts between these two aspects of legitimacy can and often do arise. A salient example of this is the COVID-19 pandemic, during which severe limitations on free movement and association have become legitimate techniques of government. Climate change poses an even graver threat to public safety. Consequently, I argue, legitimacy may require a similarly authoritarian approach. While unsettling, this suggests the political importance of climate action. For if we wish to avoid legitimating authoritarian power, we must act to prevent crises from arising that can only be resolved by such means.

A fragment from The Sleepwalkers: How Europe Went to War in 1914 by Christopher Clark about Paul Cambon

THE MANY VOICES OF EUROPEAN FOREIGN POLICY WE Paul Cambon I summer of I914, Cambon saw nine ministers enter and leave office- two E of them did so twice. Cambon did not regard himself as a subordinate employee of the government, but as a servant of France whose expertise entitled him to a major role in the policy-making process. Underpinning Cambon's exalted sense of self was the belief - shared by many of the senior ambassadors - that one did not merely represent France, one personified it. Though he was ambassador in London from 1898 until 192o, Cambon spoke not a word of English. During his meetings with Edward Grey (who spoke no French), he insisted that every utterance be translated into French, including easily recognized words such as 'yes'.54 He firmly believed - like many members of the French elite - that French was the only language capable of articulating rational thought and he objected to the foundation of French schools in Britain on the eccentric grounds that French people raised in Britain tended to end up mentally retarded.$ Cambon and Delcassé established a close working 55

A thread by @kwamurai about the monopoly on violence and the State
