Abstract

This paper presents the Habermasian cosmopolitan model and raises some questions about a possible democratic deficit in his theory. Firstly, the reasons that lead Habermas to defend the constitutionalization of international law are presented; secondly, Habermas’s proposal for the constitutionalization of international law is presented; in the end, it analyzes the extent to which the institutional-democratic framework outlined by Habermas for an international political order offers answers to the problems he raised.
