Abstract
The article aims to reflect on the (in)sufficiency of a constitutional model resulting from the structural coupling between politics and law in the globalized scenario and what alternative(s) are presented. Based on a theoretical-descriptive methodology followed by critical reflections, that support the reflections and results found, it starts from the concept of constitution as a structural coupling between the subsystems of law and politics, proposed by Luhmann’s systemic theory (2016), and which responds to a society that has a political subsystem model with the state as its center. The insufficiency of this model of national-state constitution has been highlighted by the phenomenon of globalization, in which partial social spheres go beyond the borders of the state, with new actors, and social sectors have begun to differentiate on a global scale. The problem that arises is how the relationship between the subsystems of law and politics and other partial social spheres comes to be configured in the formation of a new constitutional order. The main conclusion is that, in this new configuration, the constitutionalization of partial spheres will occur through the structural coupling between the reflexive mechanisms of the legal subsystem and those of each constituted subsystem.
