Abstract

The lastest empirical onslaught on democracy comes from globalization. Democracy encompasses Constitutional power, popular sovereignty, the values of political pluralism, the openness and transparency of the constitutional norms, and the democratic principle of the fundamental right to political participation. The paper seeks to explain the intensity of the damage done to democracy term the five different phases of the first stage of globalization and in its second stage. At the same time, the paper looks for solutions in order to overcome the problem to try to diminish the attack on democracy.
