Abstract :The dream of a peaceful world order has occupied minds of many great thinkers. Recently, Jurgen Habermas has offered a new version of it. This paper will attempt to investigate what Habermas has been elaborating on the relevant features of deliberative democracy since the publication of his Between Facts and Norms . The analysis will specifically focus on his formulation of mutual relationship between public and private autonomy as the fundamental base for his cosmopolitan scheme. This will be tired to his new concept: Constitutional patriotism arguing for the necessity of a shift from national to a cosmopolitan constitutional order based on institutionalisation of human rights on a global scaleKeywords : peaceful world, Jurgen Habermas, Between Facts and Norms
