Abstract

[This chapter proposes that based on the principle of contestedness (as a meta-organising principle of global governance) access to regular contestation at the referring stage ought to be warranted. This stage is sector-specific and therefore requires empirical research for identification. To illustrate this process, this chapter identifies the referring stage with reference to sector-specific organising principles that are derived from processes of policy-making. This application follows the definition of contestation as both indicative and required for legitimacy. Accordingly, the legitimacy gap is indicated by enhanced contestation (i.e. when taken for grantedness and moral value of a norm do not overlap). It is ‘space’ where normative meanings are contested in IR theories.]
