Culturally acceptable level of political, economic, and social development. High level of regime acceptance by major social institutions (church, mosque, ngos have to be willing to accept the regime) *can"t implement institutions into the society that are alien to the society. ** essentially, counter-insurgencies are trying to build legitimacy within the state. Does it work in practice? (based on western concepts of legitimacy, which is not relevant to local conditions reflects cultural bias) You cause greater problems if you try to prove legitimacy based on western principles but the society doesn"t agree with it. This doesn"t undermine legitimacy, however, you just have to be more culturally sensitive.
