Influence of Business on State Policy within the Framework of Constitutional Economics

Abstract

Nowadays, one of the key issues is the problem of interaction between the state and non-state actors in the context of constitutional economics. The 2020 Coronacrisis has not only revealed the need for a more in-depth analysis of the whole spectrum of this problem – conflict and overlap of interests, competition and partnership of the parties – but also raised the importance of the scientific debate to a new level. The purpose of this article is to study the importance of how enterprises can influence a government’s economic policy, including the limits of state interference in the implementation of its current activities in the light of the fundamental constitutional and legal provisions. The role of entrepreneurship and the influence that non-state economic actors exert on the economic policy of the state is increasing in contemporary conditions. The creation of a mutually beneficial format of interaction between the state and business, which is necessary to maintain the competitiveness of both, necessitates a rethinking of the basic constitutional principles upon which the economic model of the state is based. Under such circumstances, constitutional economics acts not only as a scientific study of existing models, but also assumes the important mission of implementing the objectively formed request to review the basic constitutional economic principles, which were established almost 100 years ago and do not always correspond to the current reality and challenges.
