CONFLICT OF TRADITIONALITY AND INNOVATION IN STATE CREATING: AN ARCHETYPIC APPROACH

Abstract

The article deals with the patterns of manifestation of intra-systemic conflicts that accompany the process of creating a state. The study uses an archetypal approach, the essence of which is to discover a common subconscious in tradition, that which conflicts with innovation and thus determines the specifics of creating statehood in any country. From the perspective of system analysis, archetypes are identified as invariants that play a key role in ensuring the stability of the state. Scientific ideas, generalizations and conclusions set forth in the article are based on the results of research by scientists from various fields of science: sociology, system analysis, management, economic theory. It was determined that the conflict of tradition and innovation in the creation of the state is a contradiction between the desire to ensure the stability of social life and the orderliness of the state by reconstructing behavioral patterns known from the past and the inherent social system’s ability to change the parameters of its state through the use of new compounds of mechanisms, resources and management technologies.

It is emphasized that the development of the state can be ensured only on the basis of a certain economic basis created through the institution of property. The nature of the use of the institution of ownership in different countries or in one country, but at different times can be different, but common in the process of using property is the presence of the archetype of the owner’s psychology. The differences in the demonstration of this archetype in various cultural traditions are most expressively reflected in the customs and rituals of rural life and agricultural production, which is due to the historical primacy of land ownership. The consequences of the conflict between the development of productive forces (innovativeness) and the nature of production relations (traditional) in the agricultural sector regarding the development of Ukrainian statehood are revealed. The ways of regulating social relations on the basis of combining the tradition of community (collectivism) and market innovation (individualism) are proposed.
