Coalition Formations and the Social Goal-Objective Setting

Abstract

At the end of Chapter 3 of this monograph, we discussed social power and the exercise of the decision-making power in relation to social goal-objective formations in support of the national interests and social vision. The control of this decision-making power and the exercise of it may substantially depend on organized groups to claim power in the political structure and alter the conditions of individual and collective freedoms as may be seen in the economic and legal structures. The organized groups are called coalitions which are formed on the basis of common social preferences to will some form of social decision-making power. The direction to which the coalitions move the social decision-choice process is called the coalition effect. The coalition effect is part of the systemic causation that shapes the dynamics of the democratic collective decision-choice system from within. Three major social blocks are advanced. They are the public-sector-interest advocates, the private-sector-interest advocates and the social decision-making core. The public-sector and private-sector advocates constitute the initial decision-making group that creates the social decision-making core who then assumes the public responsibilities of governance and management of the social setup. These groups may be subdivided into other smaller groups with common sub-interest.KeywordsSystemic RiskVenn DiagramNational InterestCoalition FormationSymmetric DifferenceThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
