Abstract

Globalization provokes a split between the economic dimension (dynamic) and the legal dimension (static). The first one is increasingly mobile across different jurisdictions while the latter lags behind as far as it is still produced at domestic level, or is delegated to supranational administrative bodies. This creates problems of political accounting of public decisions through the weakening of nation state sovereignty. As a consequence, it nourishes the feeling that democratic control itself is undermined. In this setting democracy seems to become controversial, swinging between a technocratic model and a demagogic one. Are these the only alternative possible?
