Resumo: This essay examines recent debates concerning the emergence of cosmopolitan norms such as those pertaining to universal human rights, crimes against humanity as well as refugee, immigrant and asylum status. What some see as the spread of a new human rights regime and a new world order others denounce as the “spread of empire” or characterize as “law without a state”. In contrast, by focusing on the relationship of global capitalism to deterritorialized law this essay distinguishes between the spread of human rights norms and deterritorialized legal regimes. Although both cosmopolitan norms and deterritorialized law challenge the nation-state and threaten to escape control by democratic legislatures, it argues that cosmopolitan norms enhance popular sovereignty while many other forms of global law undermine it. It concludes by pleading for a vision of “republican federalism” and “democratic iterations”, which would enhance popular sovereignty by establishing interconnections across the local, the national and the global.

O que alguns veem como a difusão de um novo regime de direitos humanos e uma nova ordem mundial, outros denunciam como a “expansão do império” ou caracterizam como “lei sem um estado”. Em contraste, concentrando-se no relacionamento do capitalismo global com a lei desterritorializada, este ensaio distingue entre a disseminação das normas dos direitos humanos e a desterritorialização dos regimes legais. Embora tanto as normas cosmopolitanas como a lei desterritorializada desafiem o estado-nação e ameacem escapar do controle por meio de legislaturas democráticas, argumenta-se que as normas cosmopolitanas melhoram a soberania popular enquanto muitas outras formas de direito global a debilitam. Conclui-se pleiteando uma visão do “federalismo republicano” e de “iterações democráticas”, os quais aumentariam a soberania popular através do estabelecimento de interconexões entre o local, o nacional e o global.Editora da Pucrs - ediPUCRS2012-05-18info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/index.php/civitas/article/view/1114610.15448/1984-7289.2012.1.11146Civitas: journal of Social Sciences; Vol. 12 No. 1 (2012): Convergences and divergences in the contemporary social theory; 20-46Civitas: revista de Ciências Sociais; Vol. 12 Núm. 1 (2012): Convergências e divergências na teoria social contemporânea; 20-46Civitas: revista de Ciências Sociais; v. 12 n. 1 (2012): Convergências e divergências na teoria social contemporânea; 20-461984-72891519-608910.15448/1984-7289.2012.1reponame:Civitas - Revista de Ciências Sociais (Porto Alegre.
