VALUE AND TECHNOLOGY COMPONENTS IN POLITICS

NUMBER of MAGAZINE: 36 (2) 2009ã.
The HEADING: PRESSING TOPIC
AUTHORS: Shelistov Yury

1. The problem is, the political technologies, with their function to adapt the political system to the needs of the society, as a rule, in most rational and effective ways serve the interests of the limited circle of political actors, undermining the principles of social justice and, hence, the true legitimacy. In the systems built according to the Liberalist ideas, the formation of the socio-political order is seen as spontaneous movement, as some free mutually advantageous exchange, ruled by ‘an invisible hand of the market’ (economic and political), as the spontaneity ordered by necessity of the coordination of interests only.
2. Speaking of the relations of ruling, it is impossible to exclude the moment of legitimacy of such political order by which the interests of some would be satisfied in the same measure than the interests of others. Political technologies in this context are used as the instrument of manipulating political behavior of the masses, becoming the means to legitimize political events, actions, projects that break the principles of social justice.
3. If there is needed political will, based upon the ideas of social justice, available, political technologies can be used to serve the truly democratic values. The idea of gradual social engineering, which ties up the knowledge of action structure, its technology, with predictability of result, guided by the assumption of regularity, norm-conformity of the social reality, cannot secure the final barrier in the way of irrational political practices.
