Dr Lars Brummel recently spoke at the annual conference of the European Group for Public Administration (EGPA) in Athens, where he shared findings from the LEGITIMULT project. His presentation focused on a survey investigating citizens’ perceptions of legitimacy during the COVID-19 crisis, challenging key hypotheses about how legitimacy is shaped in times of upheaval.

As a researcher specializing in the concept of legitimate governance (#WP2), Dr. Brummel examines how institutional actions and public sentiments intersect, particularly in crisis contexts.

“Crisis management performance is not only a question of objective reality but also a matter of public perceptions and sentiments” (p. 889).
