populismo, autoritarismo, nacionalismo, Derecho Internacional, fuentes del derechoResumen
El artículo aborda la relación entre los populismos nacionalistas y autoritarios, ahora en auge, y el Derecho Internacional. Se argumenta que estos movimientos no rechazan el Derecho Internacional en sí mismo, sino que promueven un Derecho Internacional que coloca en el centro la idea de soberanía estatal, enfatizando el rol del consentimiento de los Estados en la formación de las normas jurídicas. La justificación de esta opción pretende ser democrática: dado que el líder populista es el verdadero representante del pueblo, sólo los acuerdos que él consienta se reputarán consentidos por el pueblo. Por otra parte, y consecuentemente, los populismos nacionalistas y autoritarios no se oponen necesariamente a los tratados multilaterales, aunque sí manifiestan reticencias a los regímenes que esos tratados pueden crear y que implican la delegación de soberanía en instancias supranacionales.
