With this contribution I want to emphasize that the phenomenon of globalization has led, on the one hand, to the de-politicization of the exercise of State power, and, on the other hand, to the politicization of other entities: multinationals, international organizations, international finance, etc. Consequently, political decisions are made in “places” far from the national context and without any democratic guarantees. In other words, the global society is not attributable to the more or less democratic classic socio-state model in which decisions originated from the State through the use of policy instruments but is referable to a plurality of economic and financial models that are an expression of a post-global cosmopolitanism that took away space to the classical democratic organization. In this context, the European Union must necessarily go through an integration of political character which can stem the de-politicization process carried out by globalization. | ||
