Global social indicators have become a core point of interest of scholarship in law and other social sciences. The term ‘legitimacy’ is occasionally mentioned in this literature but without in-depth discussion. This paper aims to fill this gap by way of exploring the relationship between global social indicators and the concept of legitimacy. The crucial issue of such indicators is that, being drafted in a general fashion and based on a quantitative metric, they can be regarded as somehow ‘law-like’, thus raising questions about their legitimacy. This paper addresses these issues at both the general level of social theory and the operation of indicators in action.

全球社会指标和合法性概念

全球社会指标已成为法律和其他社会科学学术研究的核心兴趣点。文献中偶尔会提到“合法性”一词,但没有深入讨论。本文旨在通过探讨全球社会指标与合法性概念之间的关系来填补这一空白。此类指标的关键问题在于,以一般方式起草并基于定量指标,它们可以被视为某种“法律式”,从而引发对其合法性的质疑。本文从社会理论的一般层面和指标在行动中的运作两方面解决了这些问题。
