Narratively Constructing Legitimacy

Master thesis | International Relations (MA)
Many talk about how the Security Council's current composition is "illegitimate", but there appears to be little agreement as to what a "legitimate" Security Council would look like. This thesis uses Bruner's part-whole theory to analyse the narratives used by WEOG candidates for the Council's non-permanent seats for 2011-2012 and 2013-2014, to analyse what legitimacy arguments they deployed and what these say about the perceived legitimacy of the Council as a whole.
