Soberanía "light" y ámbitos políticos supranacionales

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to examine the extent to which the process of globalization has contributed in changing parameters in politics. The starting point in this thought is that weakened sovereignty accentuates the permeability of frontiers and simplifies migration of politics to places beyond the national State. After examining the factors influencing the weakening of sovereignty, the essay approaches the “outwards growth” process of politics and the development of supranational realms in political relations. The hypothesis is that, although a post-liberal horizon is hence inaugurated and the thesis on “the end of history” is contradicted, supranational realms are neither the destiny of politics nor the alternative to replace the political sphere. More likely they are parallel arenas complementing this sphere.
