La liberalización de las políticas económicas acompañada de la globalización y la rapidez con la que este fenómeno llevó la vida en el mundo en los últimos años hizo que el estado nación desapareciera. Sin embargo hoy, a la luz del incendio que han provocado las numerosas crisis resumida en la crisis del modelo económico de acumulación desmedida, muestra que las organizaciones internacionales en solo no pueden apagar el incendio, algunas de ellas no tienen los marcos jurídicos, ni la legitimidad, ni la institucionalidad, ni la estructura que sí tienen los Estados nacionales para gestionar las soluciones que se planifiquen para reorientar el rol de la economía en la vida de nuestras sociedades.
