The paper examines the problem of the legitimacy of the political authority and provides an adequate response towards the arguments of the political and philosophical anarchism. The proposed definition of legitimacy encourages all people to take part in the political authority and treats all citizens with equality and justice. It is based on the protection of human rights and on the notion of mutual respect of any different view about every aspect of social life in the political community. The solution would be particularly attractive, as it provides a definition of legitimacy which helps to guide a particular authority towards its goal to be legitimate.

From internal struggles to ineffective international programming, the ILO has long been plagued with a variety of issues that undermine its efficacy. This has resulted in some scholars dismissing the organization as a relevant player in the world of international work and labour. However, this paper contends that these accusations fail to consider the ILO as a complex and multifaceted organization with its own mandate, agenda, and impact. Using the world organizations approach put forward by Martin Koch, four aspects of the ILO are discussed: world semantics, internal order, external relations, and contributions to world order. This analysis finds that, though the ILO has often failed to drive rapid progress in the world of work and labour, the incremental changes it has made to international working conditions through the use of small-scale programming has overall improved working conditions for many workers around the world.

Political policies reflect values. Mixed and complex public opinion regarding the value of a college education within the United States makes establishing a consistent policy for higher education in America challenging. Various policies have been implemented to increase access to college and make it more affordable. With the passage of the G.I. Bill in 1944, college was viewed as accessible and beneficial to the average American. By 1970, there were indications within the Republican Party that this positive view was being reassessed. This mixed-method corpus-linguistics study examined Republican Party Platforms from 1948 to 2016 to assess potential shifts in the view of college held by the Republican Party. These results suggest an increase in the number of references to college, an increasing trend in the negative sentiment of those references, and a growing reference to concerns with the ideology operating in and around college education. The Republican Party’s concern with the ideology of higher education started with how colleges are accredited and have transformed into a broader concern with college administration and campus dynamics. This evolution contrasts with the more progressive and inclusive positions toward college staked in earlier Republican Party platforms. Understanding this shift in focus by the Republican Party is of interest to those committed to defending the liberal tradition of college education in America.

This article analyzes the link between the waves of the Nomadic populations settlement and deautochtonization basing our study on the indegenous Mbororo people of Cameroon. These waves of settlement, imposed by a combination of global and local factors, are accompanied by territorial and identity mutation and social renegotiations of access to political citizenship. From a legal status of indigenous people recognized by the UN, we are witnessing a process of disindigenisation. Based on the theory of coloniality and documentary analysis, the results reveal that the deautochtonization of the Mbororos is a consolidated and long-lasting trajectory. In this way, it establishes a new theoretical perspective on indigenous people.

The present article presents the study of the phenomenon of paradiplomacy as a vector for change in public policies, taking the paradiplomatic performance of Brazilian subnational units and their policies to combat the COVID-19 pandemic as an example. The theoretical approach is the political sociology of public action and its three basic principles for understanding public policy: the sectoral-global relationship, the reference, and the interaction dynamics between the actors involved. COVID-19 presented several problems for constructing public policies that could combat the spread of the virus and its effects. Different federal entities took divergent actions for this task. Divergent actions led to a conflict between the federal government’s indecision and the protagonism of some subnational units.
