| Sumario: | Objective of the research: the objective of this research is to broaden the understanding of the statehood phenomenon and its relations with political legitimacy, based on the articulation between theoretical propositions. Theoretical framework: In addition to a general proposition, the essay presents five other specific propositions, which mainly relate to the concept of State, the concept of fragility and the loss of legitimacy. The statehood construct is then configured in the States’ structural characteristics and their permanence in conditions that may successful or not. Methodology: As a theoretical essay, articulating the literature about fragility of the states and their adjacent variables, and dimensioning the statehood construct in key dimensions, the paper construction was guided by the general proposition: Political Legitimacy, a Statehood constituent, in its relations with regimes and forms of government, and with the trust attributed topolitical actions, is an intervening factor in the fragility manifested in the States. Results: The paper resulted in the articulation of some theoretical propositions, expanding the view of the statehood phenomenon and its relations with political legitimacy and leading to a comprehensive model. Originality: The general proposition of the essay is related to Political Legitimacy, a constituent of the State, in its relations with regimes and forms of government, and with the trust attributed to political action, as a factor involved in the Fragility manifested in the States. Theoretical and practical contributions: Political legitimacy and State presents promising explanatory possibilities in the face of recent geopolitical changes. The fragility of States is an open and relevant theme, in which this paper contributes to the interactionof new variables and the support of the statehood construct to support new studies on State Fragility. |
