Abstract

В контексте исследования природы и эволюции патернализма, одного из элементов теории опекаемых благ, представлен новый взгляд на провалы смешанной экономики и предложена их классификация. Стандартные провалы – наличие монополии, экстерналий информационной асимметрии и т.п., – дополнены «поведенческим провалом». Согласно предложенной теории, данный вид провала смешанной экономики обусловлен иррациональными действиями индивидуумов, выбирающих такой вариант поведения, который в соответствии с предпочтениями «патера» не обеспечивает максимизацию их благосостояния. Указанный подход лег в основу анализа патернализма и позволил выйти за пределы привычной для этой категории «отцовской заботы» государства о своих гражданах и предложить более общую трактовку данного понятия. В работе представлен и особый вид изъянов смешанной экономики – «патерналистский провал» и содержится анализ порождающих его механизмов формирования патерналистских установок государства и некоммерческих организаций. Рассмотрены теоретические и прикладные аспекты концепции консоциативной демократии, обеспечивающей либерализацию процессов принятия политических и экономических решений на основе развития институтов гражданского общества и гражданской активности, направленной на снижение рисков «провалов государства» и потери благосостояния. The article presents a new view of mixed economy failures and their classification in context of researching the nature and evolution of paternalism – one of the elements of the “patronized goods” theory. “Behavioral failures” add up to standard failures such as monopolies, information asymmetry externals etc. According to the theory this kind of the mixed economy failure is caused by irrational acts of individuals who choose the kind of behavior which matching the “pater’s” preferences does not maximize their wellbeing. The analysis of “paternalism” is based on the approach mentioned above that made it possible to leave the habitual for this category “paternal care” of the state about its citizens and offer a more generalized interpretation of the notion. The article points to a special kind of defects of the mixed economy-“paternalistic failure” and analyzes the mechanisms of forming state paternalistic directives that cause the failure. Theoretical and applied aspects of the concept of consociational democracy are considered in the article. The concept provides for process liberalization of making political and economic decisions on the basis of developing civil society institutions and citizens’ activity, aimed at reducing risks of “state failures” and wellbeing losses.
