Abstract: The article argues against recent attempts to subordinate the legal discourse to the logics of the political system. The discussion on global constitutionalism shows better than any other debate that the relationship of law and politics is one of two distinctive communication systems or discourses which are autonomous in their operations. The mutual closeness and openness of these systems can only be understood if one keeps in mind the perspective entanglements with which law and politics take their respective altera pars under consideration.
