Deliberative Democracy, Social Rights and the Modulation of Judicial Review
description
Roberto Gargarella has infused into constitutional theory a deliberative approach to constitutional review and rights adjudication. By this, he has enriched our understanding of deliberative democracy as a political system in which the judiciary can play a central role, especially through the institution of constitutional review. Furthermore, he has provided us with crucial insights into the deliberative potential of this institution, shedding light on the different ways in which it may serve to secure the essential conditions of democratic deliberation. The article centers on this twofold, crucial contribution of Gargarella – to constitutional theory and to deliberative democratic theory – with a focus on the relationship between social rights and constitutional review. First, it presents the main controversial issues raised by this relationship, concerning both social rights justiciability and adjudication. Second it highlights the resources provided by Gargarella to understand and address both orders of issues, based on his account of deliberative democracy and constitutional review. Third, the article addresses the resulting view of the action of courts on social rights. In particular, it inquires into the idea of a “third way” for judicial action, requiring to modulate judicial review so as to mediate between judicial inertia and activism.

De este modo, ha enriquecido nuestra comprensión de la democracia deliberativa como sistema político en el que la judicatura puede jugar un papel central, especialmente a través de la institución del control de constitucionalidad. Más aún, nos ha proporcionado hallazgos cruciales sobre el potencial deliberativo de esta institución, mostrando las diferentes maneras en las que puede servir para garantizar las condiciones esenciales de la deliberación democrática. El artículo se centra en esta importante doble contribución de Gargarella –a la teoría constitucional y a la teoría de la democracia deliberativa– con especial atención a la relación entre derechos sociales y control de constitucionalidad. Primero, presenta los principales temas controvertidos que plantea esta relación, tanto en lo que concierne a la justiciabilidad de los derechos sociales como a su adjudicación. Segundo, destaca los recursos que Gargarella proporciona para entender y abordar ambos asuntos, sobre la base de su comprensión de la democracia deliberativa y del control de constitucionalidad. Tercero, analiza la perspectiva sobre la acción de los tribunales en materia de derechos sociales que resulta de ello. En especial, explora la idea de una “tercera vía” de acción judicial, que exigiría modular el control de constitucionalidad para mediar entre la inercia y el activismo judicial.2021text (article)application/pdfhttps://dialnet.unirioja.es/servlet/oaiart?codigo=7907489(Revista) ISSN 0122-9893Revista Derecho del Estado, ISSN 0122-9893, Nº. 49, 2021 (Ejemplar dedicado a: Mayo – Agosto), pags. 179-197engLICENCIA DE USO: Los documentos a texto completo incluidos en Dialnet son de acceso libre y propiedad de sus autores y/o editores.
