Abstract: Global constitutionalism emerges as a legal response to globalization. By recognizing that globalization has given a global expression to certain phenomena that extend beyond the sphere of the state, this doctrine proposes mechanisms that give them global regulation towards the formation of a universal public order. Basically, the proposal of global constitutionalism offers a normative compensation to the state constitutional deficits induced by globalization. This is a structural debate which, although still discussed within the theory international law for the most part, has broad implications in the organization and governance of international society. It is in this sense that Allott notes that «the problem behind international constitutionalism is the core challenge facing internationalist philosophers in the twenty first century». .
