Recent discussions concerning international involvement in the domestic affairs of places like Syria, Ukraine, etc. have got me to thinking about not only a national govt.'s legitimacy (that is, its legitimacy in the eyes of its own people) but in a national govt.'s legitimacy concerning foreign intervention.
So, a question:
At what point does a government lose its legitimacy, making international interference or even intervention both reasonable and ethical? In other words, at one point does a government no longer have authority concerning whether or not to "invite" an outside actor in?
