Overview

Erla specialises in the legitimation of non-governmental authority.  

Her research focuses on the normative structure and empirical practice of NGO legitimacy drawing on David Beetham’s theory on legitimation of power.  

Currently Erla is working on research in the following areas: 

  • Localisation of global norms, in particular energy norms, and the role of non-state actors within these processes in shaping debates and uptake of global norms.
  • The role of trust in legitimation processes, including NGOs as trusted agents working with vulnerable groups in precarious situations.
  • Inclusion and exclusion of non-government organisations in Arctic governance processes.
