    Este trabajo examina tres hipótesis que se refieren a la relación entre integración económica, el Estado-nación y la democracia. En la primera, la hipótesis de la “democracia disminuida”, el autor afirma que en un mundo de economía mundial integradora los encargados de dictar las políticas nacionales se ven crecientemente constreñidos en su capacidad para producir los bienes públicos que demandan los electores. De acuerdo a la segunda hipótesis, “federalismo transnacional”, este déficit se corregiría transformando la actual Unión en un Estado federal. La tercera hipótesis, “constitucionalismo transnacional”, admite que la democracia no puede florecer por encima del nivel nacional puesto que la gente de los Estados miembro de la UE no constituyen un pueblo.

    This paper examines three hypothesis concerning the relationship among economic integration, the nation-State and democracy. The first one, the “diminished democracy” hypothesis, claims that in an integrating world economy national policymakers are increasingly constrained in their ability to produce the public goods the voters demand. According to the second hypothesis —“transnational federalism”— this deficit should be corrected by transforming the present Union into a federal State. The third hypothesis —“transnational constitutionalism”— acknowledges that democracy cannot flourish above the national level since the peoples of the member States of the EU do not form a demos.
