Description
Summary:Portella Sampaio D. O Sistema do Tratado Antártico: A consolidação de um regime internacional e o debate sobre seu déficit democrático. Carta Internacional . 2015;10(1):83-104. The Antarctic Treaty System (STA) consolidation is established upon the legitimacy of its attributes, even when they are not considered democratic. Thus, based on the debates about the democratic viability in international organizations, and the role of external epistemic actors in legitimizing global governance institutions, this work analyzes the trajectory of the STA and its democratic deficit problematic, highlighting criticisms to its internal hierarchy and external exclusivism. It is concluded that the demand for expertise in decision making and the legitimacy supplied by scientific organizations are the main reasons for STA legitimated consolidation.
