Abstract

The democratic constitutions of 'late modernity' were grounded on New Deal projects based on the emancipation of labour and ensuing collective labour agreements, on the constitutional centrality of the welfare state, and on competition with the utopia and reality of 'real socialism'. This epoch is over: the shift to a postmodern global form of 'governance' has been fully achieved. The intensity of this shift has been such as to erase even the 'memory of the modern' and to destroy (with its very self) every political and legal apparatus of twentieth century 'social democracy'.
