  • Descripción: The objective of this research is to assess how International Law is influenced by challenges of legitimacy and authority. Drawing from the recent outbreak of a number of social and political movements questioning globalization worldwide, this research attempts to understand how institutions of international governance are related to the lives of the people. By canvassing the traditional sources of International Law and how they are shaped by interpretation, and also by inspecting various existing instances of international administrative control, we try to delineate the complicated outlook that jeopardize public awareness and involvement, raising issues of legitimacy. As na answer to this situation of detachment, this work delves into the writings of John Rawls in order to propose how a wellordered society could be structured from the active participation of its citizens, striving for a social balance that can be sustained at a distance. For this purpose, not only Rawlsian theory is presented, but also its historical antecedents in contractarian theory. Finally, we propose a discussion on how international institutions could be designed with an aim at accommodating concerns about democracy, transparency and inclusiveness.
