Definition of State Legitimacy Index

The State legitimacy indicator considers the representativeness and openness of government and its relationship with its citizenry. The indicator looks at the population's level of confidence in state institutions and processes, and assesses the effects where that confidence is absent, manifested through mass public demonstrations, sustained civil disobedience, or the rise of armed insurgencies. The higher the value of the index, the lower the country's legitimacy.
