Abstract

Работа посвящена сравнительному методологическому анализу теории общественных и мериторных товаров, концепции либертарианского патернализма и теории опекаемых благ. В ней обсуждаются некоторые модификации двух принципов – методологического субъективизма и методологического индивидуализма, составляющих основу ряда теорий, обосновывающих государственную активность. Выполненный анализ основных предпосылок позволил автору предположить, что, с точки зрения методологии эти теоретические построения являются частными случаями теории опекаемых благ, фундамент которой составляют «методологический субъективизм», «методологический релятивизм», обусловливающие природу нормативных интересов. Рассматриваются институциональные и политологические аспекты формирования этих интересов общества «sui generis», в основе которых лежат «коллективные решения», и сформулирован общий принцип политической конкуренции в виде еще одной предпосылки – необходимость создания институтов, ограничивающих «диктатуру» парламентского большинства. В последней главе представлены примеры конкретных институтов такого рода. The work is devoted to a comparative methodological analysis of the Theory of Public and Meritory Goods, to the Concept of Libertarian Paternalism and to the Theory of Patronized Goods. It discusses some modifications of the two principles, which are as follows: the methodological subjectivism and the methodological individualism, that constitute the basis of a number of theories, substantiating the state activity. The executed analysis of the main prerequisites allowed the author to assume that, in terms of methodology, these theoretical constructs are the special cases of the Theory of Patronized Goods, which make up the foundation of «the methodological subjectivism», "the methodological relativism", stipulating the nature of regulatory interests. The final part of the study discusses the institutional and political science aspects of the formation of these public interests called «sui generis», which are based on «the collective decisions», and the general principle of political competition is formulated in the form of yet another premise – that is about the need to establish the institutions that limit the «the dictatorship» of the parliamentary majority . The annex to the main text provides the examples of specific institutions of this kind.
