Abstract

Robert Butler's edited volume in "International Affairs" delves into the analysis of discursive legitimization strategies during crises and conflicts, aiming to establish a new strand of legitimization studies. Divided into three sections, the book explores institutional discourse, the impact of new media on political discourse, and the role of metaphors in political arguments. Contributors, mainly linguistics and semiotics scholars, introduce diverse perspectives and techniques, offering insights into how discourse shapes political processes. While the book provides valuable discourse analysis methods, it falls short of fully discussing the political phenomena themselves and drawing substantial conclusions about them.
