This Article studies the role of law for aligning democracy with a market-based financial order. Jürgen Habermas's discourse theoretical understanding of the role of law in the welfare state establishes a structure for exploring this issue. According to this approach, law needs to be enforceable, law-making and law-application need to be institutionally separated, and public law needs to be distinguishable from private law. The contemporary practice of sovereign debt restructuring reveals some empirical and normative challenges to this understanding of the law. Based on these findings, this Article proposes several conceptual and institutional improvements that might lead to a more stable relationship between democracy and financial order. In particular, we argue that sovereign debt restructuring should tap the legitimating potential of existing transnational discourses that are characterized by cross-border cleavages in public discourse.

165 According to G&;sta Esping-Andersen, the development of institutions predominantly preoccupied with the production and distribution of social well-being led to the rise of the welfare state, with variations of welfare state institutions and policies in capitalist democracies. Esping-Andersen distinguishes the liberal, conservative, and social democratic model of welfare state regulation.
