Lost Legitimacy : Why Governing Is Harder Than Ever

While  emerging markets like Turkey,  India,  and  China move forward with their economic growth,  their leaders and political elites confront new challenges "as citizens use new tools to make new demands, coordinate protest, and pool their collective power. Governments of all kinds are scrambling for short-term solutions to help them through to the next business cycle, the next election, the next political transition. The result is a global crisis of legitimacy."
