Notas sobre el libro de Jürgen Habermas "Faktizität und Geltung. Beiträge zur Diskurstheorie des Rechts und des demokratischen Rechtstaats", Francfort, Suhrkamp, 1992, 667 pp.-- Artículo incluido en el número 10, monográfico "Ética y filosofía de la religión" de Isegoría, Revista de Filosofía Moral y Política. ; Desde que Kant formuló la idea de que tanto el Estado como el derecho sobre el que aquél se asienta han de legitimar su legalidad ante el tribunal de la razón práctica, se inauguró un nuevo escenario para ese variable juego de poder y justicia, de facticidad y validez, que ejecuta el derecho estatal. Jürgen Habermas llevaba ya bastante tiempo preparando concienzudamente su entrada en dicha arena, de tal modo que, al menos para aquellos que estaban acostumbrados a seguir su espesa prosa, la aparición en otoño de 1992 de su última gran obra, de la que ahora nos ocupamos, resultó ser una sorpresa anunciada. Y uno llega a estar tentado también a afirmar que su contenido era ya también de algún modo previsible. ; Peer reviewed

[EN] This article deals with the possibility to find an identity-establishing political framework that gives space to cultural diversity and exceeds in a normative as well as institutional respect the model of passive tolerance defended by the procedural liberalism. Leaving behind the antithesis of liberalism and nationalism, we show some aporias that come along with the practical realization of the two models of political communities. They concern the limits of constitutionalism (1) and of the concept of tolerance (2). Then we examine if a republican mod-el could satisfy the requirements of the complex modern societies to be acceptable and provide identification potential for all members (3). The identification of the individuals with the whole complex of institutions, legal system and political practice could serve as a base for a new form of "patriotism", if and only if they permit political participation and the coexistence of different cultural traditions. On such a basis, the formation of an open and inclusive collective identity is conceivable, an identity appropriate for multicultural and plurinational societies. ; [DE] Ziel dieses Artikels ist es, die Möglichkeit eines identitätsstiftenden politischen Rahmens zu erwägen, der Freiraum lässt für kulturelle Unterschiede und sowohl normativ als auch institutionell über das Modell der passiven Toleranz des prozeduralen Liberalismus hinausgeht. Die Antithese von Liberalismus und Nationalismus zurücklassend werden einige Aporien aufgezeigt, die bei der praktischen Umsetzung der beiden Modelle politischer Gemeinschaften zutage treten. Sie betreffen die Grenzen des Konstitutionalismus (1) und des Toleranz-Konzepts (2). Anschließend wird untersucht, ob ein republikanisches Modell für die komplexen modernen Gesellschaften einen Rahmen darstellen könnte, der für alle Mitglieder akzeptabel ist und Identifikationspotential bietet (3). Die Identifikation der Individuen mit dem Gesamt der Institu-tionen, des Rechtssystems und der politischen Praxis könnte, sofern diese politische Partizipation und den Bestand unterschiedlicher kultureller Traditionen erlauben, als Grundlage für eine neue Form von "Patriotismus" dienen. Auf dessen Basis wäre die Ausbildung einer offenen und inklusiven kollektiven Identität möglich, wie sie für multikulturelle und plurinationale Gesellschaften geeignet erscheint. ; Peer reviewed
International migration is a highly complex and global phenomenon, an ideologically charged and polarizing topic of enormous symbolic and political relevance, a phenomenon that requires an interdisciplinary approach from both a descriptive as well as normative perspective. Migratory flows have increased and are incrementally caused by armed conflicts or climate change, as well as by acute global inequalities. Given that the causes and implications of migration exceeds state limits a comprehensive study needs to abandon "methodological nationalism". The economic and social integration of the migrant population is a complex challenge, but the opportunities it opens up are also manifold: migration drives economic growth, connects different cultures, and contributes to international development. ; Peer reviewed
The volume gathers theoretical contributions on human rights and global justice in the context of international migration. It addresses the need to reconsider human rights and the theories of justice in connection with the transformation of the social frames of reference that international migrations foster. The main goal of this collective volume is to analyze and propose principles of justice that serve to address two main challenges connected to international migrations that are analytically differentiable although inextricably linked in normative terms: to better distribute the finite resources of the planet among all its inhabitants; and to ensure the recognition of human rights in current migration policies. Due to the very nature of the debate on global justice and the implementation of human rights and migration policies, this interdisciplinary volume aims at transcending the academic sphere and appeals to a large public through argumentative reflections. Challenging the Borders of Justice in the Age of Migrations represents a fresh and timely contribution. In a time when national interests are structurally overvalued and borders increasingly strengthened, it's a breath of fresh air to read a book in which migration flows are not changed into a threat. We simply cannot understand the world around us through the lens of the 'migration crisis'-a message the authors of this book have perfectly understood. Aimed at a strong link between theories of global justice and policies of border control, this timely book combines the normative and empirical to deeply question the way our territorial boundaries are justified. Professor Ronald Tinnevelt, Radboud University Nijmegen, The Netherlands This book is essential reading for those frustrated by the limitations of the dominant ways of thinking about global justice especially in relation to migration. By bringing together discussions of global justice, cosmopolitan political theory and migration, this collection of essays has the potential to transform the way in which we think and debate the critical issues of membership and movement. Together they present a critical interdisciplinary approach to international migration, human rights and global justice, challenging disciplinary borders as well as political ones.
