ON THE AUTHORITY OF TRANSNATIONAL LAW

This research aims to evaluate the contours of the Authority of Transnational Law and its consequences from the globalization of law. At the time when the norm is a source for constitution and legitimacy of power, power is a source for the production and application of the norm. To this end, this text presents the interfaces of the classic precepts of categories such as legitimacy, territory, power and authority related to state normative production, in contrast to national and transnational demands. It was concluded that the Authority that presents itself to Transnational Law influences national Law from the outside, so that the basis of the authority’s support is not based on economic precepts, but on institutional and normative responsiveness to the emerging demands and pretensions. For the development of this research, the inductive method was used, operationalized by the techniques of operational concepts and bibliographic research.
