By contrast, it can be argued that the EU transforms national sovereignty, both in its internal and external dimension. This "Europeanisation" of Member State's sovereignty could be seen as an attempt to restore and expand the "rule of law" not only by harnessing market forces but by using them in order to promote "home-grown" legal standards. In that sense, "European sovereignty" may be a legal contradictio in terminis but it may also be the only future of sovereignty tout court.

Based on the distinction between right, freedom, power and immunity developed a century ago by U.S.scholar Wesley N. Hohfeld, it suggests that fundamental rights are only enforceable against people who hold both power and knowledge. The case-law as it now stands can therefore be interpreted as implying that horizontal applicability does not hinge on the nature of the right invoked but rather on the (economic or institutional) position of the debtor and on degree of expertise that can be expected from him.

With Mercosur, on the other hand, the question is increasingly that its lack of legitimacy may be related to its weaknesses. The pact between citizen and government allows for either confrontation between or the minimization of transnational concentrations of power, especially in the economic arena, which are often free from any kind of regulation. It can also reveal the many “black boxes” within national public administrations, which are averse to much-needed cultural and methodological reforms. Major divergences as well as convergences emerge from the examination of the institutional parallel in governance in Mercosur and the European Union.

En tant que systeme d’institutions et de normes, il dissout l’evenement dans la continuite des textes et regles qui fondent la collectivite. Comme univers langagier en recomposition constante, il expose la crise en donnant aux opposants a l’ordre etabli les mots a meme d’exprimer leurs narratifs minoritaires dans le repertoire juridique. Dans cette optique, le texte examine la facon dont les juristes peuvent relayer, jusqu’a l’oree du systeme juridique, la revendication de justice sous-jacente au « narratif postcroissanciel » qui reconnait a chaque etre vivant, present ou a venir, le droit de mener une vie digne d’etre vecue.
