Abstract This research intends to investigate how Seyla Benhabib relates the issues of human rights, sovereignty and citizenship in her work. The reconciliation between universalism and contextualism is a fundamental piece of her critical model, and the settlement of these issues with regard to international (or cosmopolitan) norms of human rights and maintenance of democratic sovereignty is complicated to resolve. Thus, we intend to explore in her work the paradox of democratic legitimation, that is, we intend to uncover the arrangements that Benhabib proposes to solve the problems that arise in the relationship between popular sovereignty and national sovereignty, citizenship and membership, human rights as cosmopolitan norms of justice and the State as guarantor of its application. This master's research is a continuation of scientific initiation research conducted in 2016 (FAPESP 2015 / 26105-9). (AU) | |
