Abstract

This paper provides an overview of the debate on the democratic peace theory and a non-ruled oriented introduction to its reception in international legal scholarship related to the purported emergence of a right to democratic governance in international law. It focuses next on the work of Fernando Tesón, the self-appointed father of "the Kantian theory of international law" and champion of a post-Rawlsian liberal cosmopolitan approach to international intra-state democratisation. This author's influential proposals of lege ferenda will be, eventually, depicted as an avant-garde blueprint for a neo-conservative international legal order.
