Typológie legitimity a verejná politika

Abstract

The study deals with the contribution of legitimacy typologies from the point of view of public policy theory. From this point of view, it first analyzes the monodisciplinary approaches (such as normative theories of legitimacy) that were created around the world within the legal sciences (C. J. Friedrich, G. Burdeau), or as empirical theories of legitimacy within sociology (M. Weber, G. Ferrero, K. W, Deutsch) and political science (D. Easton, G. Almond and GB Powell) and subsequent the multidisciplinary approaches (N. Luhmann, P. Rosanvallon , D, Beetham). The result of this analysis of different typologies of legitimacy of power and their reflection into the issue of legitimacy of the public interest is a typology of possible procedures for legitimizing public (but also supra-individual) interests, which points out that while the normstive legitimation of public interestsis possible, but not always sufficient - and therefore must be supplemented by empirical (social) legitimation, whereas the social legitimization can be equivalent form of legitimation of pluralistic public interests, which can not be legitimized normatively for several reasons.
