Legitimizing a bad actor
A Legitimization Effect occurs where an organization is perceived to be using its resources to support a political or governing authority.
Legitimizing a bad actor
By allowing their resources to be co-opted by a governing authority who uses them for nefarious ends, organizations can contribute to conflict.
- Does the organization give resources directly to the governing authority or its representatives? Does the organization allow governing authorities to participate in distribution of resources or in decisions about location or timing?
These are not inherently bad, but these are simple ways to begin thinking about the legitimization of bad actors. You must know the context!
