ACCEPTANCE OF
POLITICAL DECISION AND ITS EXECUTION TECHNOLOGY
Politics
is paid attention in the sphere of political science. In order to understand
its meaning one can know and research, first of all, the acceptance of
political decision and its execution technology.
The
most difficult and responsible element of ruling is making political decision
and its acceptance technology. Not only
lawyers, sociologists are active at the discussion stage of political decision,
but also politicians do their best. The acceptance of political decision and
its execution technology is not enough researched in the sphere of political
decision. Knowing Theoretical knowledge and rules are not enough in political life. It is also important to know the
acceptance of the right decision and how politics is made, its methods and
which technology is used. Political decision acceptance technology is a central
reconstruction element regulating tools and ways of various groups’ and
citizens’ political demands and social relationship for the whole society .In short, decision acceptance technology
is technological reconstruction of political authority in regulating of social
process. The terminology «Decision Acceptance» was
appeared, for the first time, in the 30-th of XX century, in order to explain
the social and organized process of decentralization.
There
are two explanations of political decision technology acceptance in political
science nowadays. They are; normative and charismatic theories. According to
the normative theory (R. Abelson, A. Levin etc) it is explained as the process where political aims are chosen at the
difficult process. In order to improve such choice different mathematical
models, researching the operations, the use of another instrumental methods and
standard scheme are suggested as the important tools. And in accordance with
the charismatic theory (G.
Saimon, G. Heil, L.Planket)
the process is defined as the result of a definite situation.
The
result of decision acceptance depends on the used technologies, mechanisms, types of
subjects and their peculiarities.
Political
decision- it is the sensible choice between two variants of political
activities. Usually it is tried to differentiate political decision technology
acceptance process as the different point of view. But the simplest one is
separated from others. It emphasizes three main stages; preparation, acceptance
of decision, and its execution. Each stage has its own peculiarities and they
are defined by some factors.
So,
at the preparation stage the responsible government bodies have to gather all
the information about the real situation of society and its contrast. Taken information helps to clear up which
definite problem has an individual political description. Then all gathered
information are controlled by the structure of the political institutions and
the different government bodies. After
that the results of decision acceptance is made, the agenda is fixed [1].
According to the importance and the actuality
of the problems the different groups do their best to choose them. In this case
ideological explanation, economical interests are connected with the
description of rulers and politicians.
Not
only political parties, social movements, parliament fractions, lobbyist groups are interested in the decision
acceptance, buy also non political parties which take an active part in it. If
there are a lot of problems, there would be many interests’ conflicts.
There
is conflict in all human societies, and all societies have systems for
regulating it. Conflict between people or groups often arises from competition
for resources, power, and status. Different interest groups compete for
influence and the power to make rules. Often the competition is not for
resources but for ideas one person or group wants to have the ideas or
behaviour of another group suppressed, punished, or declared illegal.
Intergroup conflict, lawful or otherwise, does not necessarily end when one
segment of society finally manages to effect a decision in its favour. The
resisting groups may then launch efforts to reverse, modify, or circumvent the
change, and so the conflict persists. Conflict can, however, also solidify
group action; both nations and families tend to be more unified during times of
crisis. Sometimes group leaders use this knowledge deliberately to provoke conflict
with an outside group, thus reducing tensions and consolidating support within
their own group.
So,
the procedure of the additional suggestions takes an important place at the
level of making and discussion of the
additional variants. The aim of the process of discussion is to make sure of
advantages and disadvantages of used
variants with the help of definite methods and to notice the best among them.
The
members of government, social groups, associations and experts take part in the
political problems discussion.
So,
the conclusion of preparation stage is the explanation of problematic situation, its questions and
defining mentioned problems’ conclusion. According to the agenda mentioned
problems, the aims and the tasks of political development are pointed.
There
are many factors which can influence on the decision acceptance stage. The
strongest among them is government.
In
fact decision making technology is accepted in the mixed order. During the
process of political decision
acceptance different methods are used.
For example, a politician makes his own team, so he chooses a group, helpers
and advisers, who can value fixed decisions. They are profitable, universal,
limited and mixed methods.
All
of them have their advantages and disadvantages and their use depends on the
situations. Universal methods pay attention to the whole amount of problems,
but they are not interested in the local tasks decisions. Others try to order
the political directions and help to discuss the complex decisions.
Even
if two sides have the same or opposite interests they could come to an
agreement. The forms of agreement can be different; agreement as the result of
bilateral negotiations and gaining the majority [2].
Consensus
- it is a method that all members a group agree with. It doesn’t mean that the
interests of all sides are the same .Consensus - it is not voting. On the basis
of consensus the solution occurs as a procedure of agreement.
Hegemony
–is the control by one country organization, over other countries, within a
particular group.
Decision
acceptance methods depends on the peculiarities of the tasks and the traditions
in the authoritarian society. So, according to the theoretical and wide
knowledge political decision can be accepted and governed.
It
is the best way to control once more advantages and disadvantages of accepted
decision, because sometimes the result is beyond reach.
One
thing is clear; the oldest illness in Kazakhstan policy is not to acknowledge
the cause of decision. Sometimes it is surprisingly, the acceptance of sudden
decision. Maybe, it depends on the bad connection with the governments during
the preparation of documents or on the fear of scientific experts.
It
is also the result of wrong attitude to their work. But the mystery of State
machinery and their opinion have the main decisive factors than intellectual
level, scientific discussion and political supposition.
Accepted
political decision –it is only the opportunity of the goal, that’s why to
choose the aim- it is the beginning of the third stage of political decision
acceptance. Its meaning influence on the execution of political decision.
Political
and leading decision acceptance should have directive and juridical forms.
They also pay attention to the
responsibilities of the result of decision of a definite person, associations
and groups.
That’s
why it is clear; the responsible people, groups and organs for decision execution have to know how,
when and why to act, in order to achieve more appropriate decision.
During the execution of political decision all
fixed political goals and tasks are made. It is the appropriate time to oppose
the theoretical discussion and intention with the real situation. Execution of
political and ruling thoughts give the chance to define the strategy, to choose
the type of action, so to use the consensus methods and to distort the social opinion.
There
are the following types of political decision and its execution technology ;
populism, elitism, conservatism,democratic and radicalism. Each of them has the
political direction by the definite method of government order and the
relationship between power and people.
Populism – type of politics that claims to represent the opinions and
wishes of ordinary people. Populism takes a special place, especially, during a
charismatic authority. But, it can be one of the parts of political directions,
which supports more appropriate methods of a populist activity.
Elitist
it is an elitist model of society. Elitism it is a way of organizing a
system or society, so that only a few people have power or influence.
Conservatism-the
political belief that society should change as little as possible. It develops the patriotic mood and unity of social and political
organisms.
Radicalism-
belief in radical ideas and principles. It is with the opposite results.
Radicalism-as the form of ruling isn’t interested in the democratic agreement
and in the improvement of society. The main method of revolutional regime
ruling is to make people more willing to consider new and different policies,
ideas, to make people more radical in their political opinions. So, the radical
wing of the party is in favor of thorough and complete political or social
party [3].
Comparing
with radicalism, in a democracy, government is only one element coexisting
in the political parties, organizations
and associations. This diversity is called pluralism, and it assumes that the
many organized groups and institutions in a democratic society do not depend
upon government for their existence, legitimacy or authority. Thousands of
private organizations operate in a democratic society, some local, some
national. Many of them serve a mediating role between individuals and the complex
social and governmental institutions of which they are part, filling
roles not given to the government and offering individuals opportunities to
exercise their rights and responsibilities as citizens of a democracy. These
groups represent the interests of their members in a variety of ways- by
supporting candidates for public office, debating issues and trying to
influence on policy decisions.Where an
individual or group of decision-makers themselves have ownership over a
decision, then guilt cannot arise
because guilt arises only when the decision-makers are not pulling with
the other people who have a valid reason to share ownership of the decision. In
this case the decisionmakeris also the “decision owner” and makes a “subjective” decision. Citizens
of democratic societies have the
opportunities to join a host of private organizations, associations and
volunteer groups. The right of individuals to associate freely and to organize
themselves into different sorts of non-governmental groups is fundamental to
democracy.
The
basic rights of citizens are reasonably clear They include freedom of speech and assembly, and of
participation, safeguards against state arbitrariness in the administration of
law, and protections for personal privacy, individual conscience, faith and
worship. The responsibilities of citizens include, not only compliance with
legitimate laws and institutions, but also the willingness to do their fair
share to create and sustain them. Perhaps the most important responsibilities
are to make appropriate use of their liberty and to respect the rights of
others.
Voting
in the election of public officials is the most visible and common form of participation in modern
democracies, and also the most fundamental. The ability to conduct free and
fair core of what it means to call a society democratic. And there are some
suggestions that help to increase the opportunity of subjective political
decisions acceptance.
The acceptance of the right political decision and
its execution helps to improve and to develop the stability of society. It is clear;
acceptance of the right political decision and its execution technology – it is
fundamental way of society progress.
This is the most important task for
Kazakhstan.
