Social State-Private Partnership: Axiological Basis And Legal Regulation

Abstract

The realities of modern state politics are so that they must seek to find harmony with the society. Democratic values serve as the basis of state modernization and they stand clearly on the importance of social harmony in a democratic state. Social partnership is the model that explains ways to ensure harmonious existence of state bodies and the society given the political and economical conditions of the state. The so desired harmony is reached through optimal legal regulation that must meet the needs in the existing economic conditions and be adequately carried out by state bodies. Such legal regulation must provide compromise and dialogue to fulfill its purpose of ensuring social partnership. The other way social partnership is comprehended is not as a set of legal regulations and norms fitting a certain model, but as the value-ideological basis of state politics and law and real practice. It is utterly important to consider social partnership as an axiological form and mainly so because social partnership can only be practically applied when it is the core purport of legislation itself. Nowadays social partnership is mostly a labor law model that serves to achieve coherence between the interests of employees, employers, labor unions, state and local bodies on issues of labor policy, social policy and their adequacy to economic realities and regulations, yet all fields of legal regulation must reflect on social partnership values to be adherent to the values of modern times and society.
