Legitimacy lies at the heart of all political discourse and determines much political competition in both developed and less developed societies. Legitimacy is about social, economic and political rights, and it is what transforms coercive capacity and personal influence into durable political authority.
Legitimation or legitimization is the act of providing legitimacy. Legitimation in the social sciences refers to the process whereby an act, process, or ideology becomes legitimate by its attachment to norms and values within a given society. It is the process of making something acceptable and normative to a group or audience.
