O político como ação comunicativa: os direitos humanos econômicos e sociais sob a perspectiva da justiça internacional

O objetivo dessa dissertação é abordar os direitos humanos, problematizando um dos aspectos constitutivos da sua definição, a saber, uma suposta imanência que se manifestaria através da evidência desses direitos. Questiona-se essa característica com base na ideia de que os direitos humanos, como um discurso político que visa garantir a dignidade humana dos indivíduos, possuem uma aceitação relativamente universal e que tal consenso encontra-se estruturado por um entendimento liberal de direitos. O processo de difusão dos direitos humanos enquanto normas internacionais é compreendido como uma forma de socialização. Esse processo de expansão hegemônica para o que o emprego da força não é preciso. Isso será feito através da articulação dos trabalhos de Jürgen Habermas sobre a ação comunicativa e de Gabriel Tarde sobre a propagação das ideias e padrões sociais.
