The Value-Based and Cultural Matrix as a Component of the National Model of Social Development

Abstract

The article is devoted to introduction of the notion “value-based and cultural matrix” into the discourse of socio-humanitarian sciences. The methodology that allows constructing this theoretical concept is substantiated. The main theoretical and methodological principles are the axiological approach – as a universal methodological principle, it allows analyzing various social phenomena; institutional theory (D. North); theory of institutional matrices (S.G. Kirdina). Value-based and cultural matrix is treated as a totality of national, religious, cultural, educational, and family traditions, the established legal custom, and the generally recognized moral values, as a stereotype of life of a specific society in a separate period of time and in the territorial frameworks of a specific region, sanctioned by the national law.
