Abstract
The progressive withdrawal of the state from the role of "economic agent" has had an impact upon its function of regulator. Therefore, norms production was transferred to inernational and national bodies favouring more non-binding normative settings (soft law) and self-regulation. As a result, the relationship between the international legal order and national legal order bears significant modifications, and fundamental rights of citizens may also be affected within democracies based on the rule of law.
