1) Does the
definition of legitimacy change, if those in power and the subordinates are not
a homogenous group? I am thinking about cases such as Libya. Here, more than
one clan claims to be the legitimate leader of the state. They are supported
by their clan member but are in conflict with the opposing ones.
2) What is the scope of legitimacy? Is legitimacy bound to state borders and their citizens and what if not internal but only externally the legitimacy is excepted again in case of Libya
where none of the clans are excepted by the gross of the citizens of the state, but still the EU recognizes one as legitimate.
