Law and politics in posmodernity: internationalist liberalism
Abstract
The most popular stream in international relations studies is associated with political realism as such emphasizes competition between States always seeking an advantageous position, whose description shows that such a rivalry can be ruthless. However, internationalist Liberalism explores alternatively the association tactics that help States to position themselves strategically on the international stage by seeking allies with those who share common interests. The promotion of cooperation agencies enables the study of the growing influence of actors other than national States, and recognizes the relative independence of the international environment with its own and distinct logic, although associated with the traditional logic of national interest and security. The paper aim is to explore the positions that John Rawls, Norberto Bobbio and Luigi Ferrajoli put forward. The method is qualitative, using documentary analysis techniques on secondary sources. It is concluded that the agreements and institutions arising from international liberalism restrict the action of States, seeking limitation to armed conflicts, the protection of human rights and the conditions for a more distributive global justice.
