TL;DR: The authors used confirmatory factor analysis to test for the measurement properties of these constructs and expand upon prior research by also including a measure of encounter-based procedural justice in addition to a scale tapping into global beliefs.
Abstract: The procedural justice theory of police legitimacy has received substantial empirical support, yet too little attention has been paid to the operationalization and measurement of these important theoretical constructs. In particular, it is unclear whether the items used to represent procedural justice and police legitimacy possess convergent and discriminant validity. The current study uses confirmatory factor analysis to test for the measurement properties of these constructs and expands upon prior research by also including a measure of encounter-based procedural justice in addition to a scale tapping into global beliefs. The results provide mixed support for discriminant and convergent validity between legitimacy and global procedural justice. Full structural equation models test an alternative specification of one of the popular measurement methods for legitimacy, and compare the relative impact of each type of procedural justice. The findings indicate that while specific procedural justice predicts legitimacy, global procedural justice has a stronger influence. Implications for measurement and police policy are discussed.

TL;DR: A close reading of history reveals that the Bretton Woods system did not emerge from a single moment but rather from a much more extended historical process as discussed by the authors, and that a new international financial system is being born today, it will be a slower and more incremental development process that can be divided into four phases: a legitimacy crisis; an interregnum; a constitutive phase; and an implementation phase.
Abstract: The 2007–2008 global financial crisis encouraged speculation about the prospects for a ‘Bretton Woods moment’ in which the global financial system would be radically redesigned Many of those hoping for this outcome have since become disillusioned with the limited nature of the international financial reform agenda But the success and innovation of the Bretton Woods conference was made possible by unique political conditions that are not present today, notably concentrated power in the state system; a transnational expert consensus; and wartime conditions Moreover, a close reading of history reveals that the Bretton Woods system did not emerge from a single moment but rather from a much more extended historical process If a new international financial system is being born today, it will be a slower and more incremental development process that can be divided into four phases: a legitimacy crisis; an interregnum; a constitutive phase; and an implementation phase Viewed from this perspective, post-crisis developments look more significant The crisis of 2007–2008 has already intensified twin legitimacy crises relating to international financial policy and leadership It has also generated an international reform initiative that has been unusual for its speed and internationally coordinated nature Many of the details of this reform initiative remain unresolved and its content and breadth are hotly contested in various ways We thus find ourselves in more of an interregnum than a constitutive phase It remains unclear how quickly, if at all, the latter might emerge and in what form
