Abstract

The successive crises that have been shaking the international economic system in recent years palpably reveal its inadequacy in the face of the requirements of contemporary international society, in its complex political, social, cultural and economic dimension. The present study aims, on the one hand, to examine the causes that have led to the obsolescence of the economic premises and legal principles of the currently prevailing system and, on the other, to explore the bases and trends on which general restructuring of the international economy may eventually rest, depending on contemporary reality. The sense of any restructuring that is attempted must be to seek a solution to the needs that have become evident in an international community characterized by its interdependence; it must advance towards a new stage conceived as the economic heritage of humanity.

Keywords:
