“…Whereas the old constitutional question concerned the justifi cation and limitation of political violence, [w]ith the new constitutional question, the concern is to release quite different social energies -particularly visible in the economy, but also in science and technology, medicine and the new media -and to effectively limit their destructive effects. 62 With respect to the surveillance of the Internet, the challenge is thus to both protect the communications systems from the encroachment of other societal functional spheres and, at the same time, to protect these functional spheres from being threatened in their integrity by a net communication that is oriented toward maximising its own rationality. Put differently, the Internet must be protected from the global functional systems such as politics, science, the economy, etc.…”

Abstract:In 2014, the UN Human Rights Committee published its Concluding Observations on the United States’ fourth periodic report on the progress of the implementation of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (UN Doc CCPR/C/SR/3061), in which also the US surveillance practices are criticised. The Committee’s insistence on the right to privacy and its exterritorial effect is an important first step, but it is not comprehensive, as by remaining within the individual rights framework the UN Human Rights Committee fails to sufficiently take into account the systemic challenges in play. Developing a constitution of the Internet would necessitate not only protecting individual fundamental rights against state interference, but protecting communicative spheres by guaranteeing institutional autonomies and subjecting all social spheres to democratic control; this also requires opening up spaces for a critical public, including whistleblowers, and establishing a right to cryptography – a crucial refraction in the polycentric panoptic schema.

“…Es por esto que el centro institucional de la comunicación jurí-dica emana desde los tribunales, dado que allí se genera la instancia para que el derecho aplique su código elemental basado en la distinción de los valores derecho/no-derecho. No obstante, en la periferia del derecho es posible identificar la elaboración de estructuras normativas como protocolos, reglamentos y marcos regulatorios (Teubner 2012).…”

“…En relación con la transnacionalización del derecho financiero, se ha establecido un paralelo entre la creación de estatutos sectoriales globales y el proceso de constitucionalización propio de los estados nación (Teubner 2012). De este modo, se plantea que el derecho se ha fragmentado en una constelación de constituciones de carácter civil representativas de las distintas esferas sociales, lo cual se ha materializado en la aparición de una genuina lex financiaria para el caso del subsistema financiero.…”

RESUMENLa crisis financiera del 2008 modificó las relaciones sostenidas entre el sistema político, la esfera jurídica y el dominio financiero a escala global. Ante la incapacidad de las estructuras regulatorias de los países afectados por salvaguardar la estabilidad de sus mercados, la solución política ha estribado en un incremento de la participación estatal sobre los órganos jurídicos encargados de supervigilar los procesos financieros, provocando un nuevo giro en la disputa por el control de la regulación financiera sostenida entre el sistema político y el sistema financiero. Este artículo indaga los orígenes y los potenciales efectos de esta dinámica emergente, identificando los principales acoplamientos estructurales dispuestos por el Estado para subsanar los vicios funcionales del régimen financiero global, así como las raíces de la desdiferenciación derivada de la captura regulatoria en la que ha incurrido históricamente el sistema financiero. Para describir este fenómeno desde la perspectiva sociológica, se conjugó la óptica analítica que proporciona la teoría de sistemas con el arsenal teórico propio de la regulación financiera, incluyendo una investigación empírica en dicho campo. Finalmente, este artículo propone resaltar las ventajas funcionales de esta pugna intersistémica, introduciendo una reflexión que rescata sus beneficios para la sociedad en el largo plazo.PALABRAS CLAVE: Regímenes regulatorios; Sociología jurídica; Sistema financiero; Desdiferenciación; Teoría de sistemas ABSTRACT The financial crisis of 2008 amended the sustained relationships between the political system, the legal system and the financial system globally. Given the inability of the regulatory structures of the concerned countries to safeguard the stability of its markets, the political solution has focused in increased state involvement on legal bodies to supervise financial processes, causing a new turn in the dispute over sustained control of financial regulation between the political system and the financial system. This article explores the origins and the potential effects of this emerging dynamics, identifying the main structural links arranged by the State to correct the functional defects of the global financial system, as well as the roots of dedifferentiation derived regulatory capture in which incurred historically the financial system. To describe this emerging dynamics from a sociological perspective, was conjugated the optic that provides analytical systems theory with own theoretical arsenal of financial regulation, including recent empirical research in this field. Finally, this article highlight the functional advantages of this intersystemic struggle, introducing a reflection that rescues its benefits to the social system in the long term.

“…Sociological theorists of constitutionalism have drawn upon these historical antecedents to develop a range of different interpretations of constitutional theory (Teubner 2012;Thornhill 2011). Indeed, the Handbook includes a contribution by one of the leading theorists of sociological approaches to constitutionalism, Chris Thornhill, whose contribution locates these Enlightenment strands in relation to ideas about global governance and international constitutional developments at that time and into the modern period.…”
