O FEDERALISMO INTERNACIONAL EM UM PERÍODO PÓS NACIONALISTA

International federalism is a theme that is related to the phenomenon of globalization and the process of internationalization and universalization through which law passes. The idea of a global constitutional order as a guideline for a globalized world has historical bases in the works of some authors and is directly linked to the establishment of a community constitutionalism in the international field, which has materialized through normative and jurisdictional structures of the world and regional scope. The thinking around a global constitutionalism gained strength after the two great wars that occurred in the twentieth century, with emphasis on the Second World War (19391945), a conflict that ended in its end gave rise to the United Nations (UN), which was created with the aim of protecting human life and its dignity, documents of the UN Charter and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.The aim of the research was to ascertain whether power in international society is distributed in a federative system. The work was basically assumed to be the commonly disseminated idea about the increasing limitation or loss of the technical exercise of sovereignty, and, as a proposal, a reading that identifies – based on a qualitative, descriptive and bibliographic methodology – the formation of a system of international federalism.To this end, it was necessary to go analytically and critically through the bases of the modern national state – the idea of nation, constitutionalism and the very concept of state – from a rereading that had as vector of orientation the reflections that globalization projects in human relations at the level of identity, economy, geography, etc. Based on the premise of weakening the nationalism-state-sovereignty interrelationship, we read the position of nation states in global society in the light of the theory of federalism, through which it was possible to perceive that the characteristics commonly attributed to national federations can be identified, in some way, in the way they have structured and how the normative and institutional arrangements of the international system have worked. Based on a logic of distribution of power, on a cross-border scale, "post-national" federalism would not appear as a structure agreed and designed by international actors, but as a process of reorganization of global society, where various entities operate in a cooperative and autonomous manner, under the guidance of an ordering of values and norms that is shown, in some way, superior and common.
