Abstract

In this paper the author reconstructs Francesco Viola's thought about the relationship between Politics and globalization in the context of the current economic crisis. Ballesteros presents Viola's argumentation by highlighting five alternatives in practical reasoning and legal theory: a) moral objectivity vs. subjective preferences, b) political pluralism vs. economic uniformity, c) fundamental interests vs. venality, d) cooperation vs. zero-sum game, e) rule of law based globalization vs. economic globalization.
