Abstract

In a post-national scenario the need for global governance structures capable of facing contemporary challenges through management that goes beyond Westphalian, state-centric and voluntary logic, has as a return the need to have a regulatory framework of public law capable of regulating and legitimizing the international institutions responsible for conducting such management. In view of this normative challenge, this work examines the cosmopolitan Kantian project and its Habermasian renewal, explores the possibility of a constitutionalization of international law, and revises Armin von Bogdandy’s proposal in relation to international law as a new public law focused on the exercises of public authority and its democratic legitimacy. To land these issues, a look is given to the Latin American regional stage and the emergence of a ius constitutionale commune Latinoamericano as part of internal constitutionalization process of the Inter-American Court of Human Rights. In order to contribute to the strengthening and legitimacy of the work of this international court, some keys are delivered in the light of dialogic pluralism and constitutional pluralism.
