MAISLEY, Nahuel. Completing Nino’s Theory. Anal. filos. [online]. 2015, vol.35, n.2, pp.283-316. ISSN 1851-9636.

According to some of his colleagues and disciples, when Carlos Nino died, in 1993, he was beginning to work on a project trying to extrapolate his theories to the international realm. In this paper, I pick up at least an aspect of that project, and I analyze how Nino would have extrapolated his theory of democracy to the global arena. In other words, I speculate regarding how could Nino’s ideas be inserted into the current debates on global democracy. My hypothesis is that, on the one hand, Nino would have demanded new instances of popular participation in the processes of creation and implementation of international law, and on the other hand, that he would have somehow defended the “historical constitution” of the international community, based on an decentralized, inter-state system (as opposed to a revolutionary change, such as the creation of a global parliamentary assembly, or something similar).

Palabras clave : Global Democracy; Deliberative Democracy; Cosmopolitan Democracy; Transnational Democracy; C. S. Nino.
