It opens with a discussion of legitimacy as a concept and discusses how it relates to government effectiveness. It then examines a large body of empirical evidence that attempts to link government effectiveness, government procedures, and quasi-voluntary compliance. We conclude that if citizens know that others are quasi-voluntarily complying, they, too, might recognize compliance as a norm and come to believe that the government deserves their deference. | | Authors / Editors | Levi, Margaret; Sacks, Audrey | | Date Published | 10 August 2006 | | Download Citation | This citation can be downloaded in the following bibliographic database formats: Tagged; XML; BibTex |
