ИНТЕРЕС И ПОЛИТИКА - Законитост конфликата интереса y друштву -
INTERESTS AND POLITICS - Regularity of Conflict of Interests in Society -

Summary/Abstract: The history of human society and political system shows that normal situation in society expresses itself titrough a permanent conflict of interests. The interest as such is difficult to determine. One may say that it is a specific value, significance, benefit desired by man and protected by him. Interest is a prime - mover of all works of man. General interest, on the other hand, is rather difficult to define, too, as a category, since it is frequently used, and in a formal way, as a powerful tool of ideological delusion and manipulation. This does not mean, however, that interest has no social character. Politics appears as a mediator between interests which are correlated and which maintain the community. Politics is necessary, and experience throughout history has shown that there is no community without mediating between the various interests. Majority of human interests sources are found in the sphere of material production. The state and the law originated as a necessary instrument and form of rational organisation of society at the specific level of historical development, as well as a necessary consequence of the antagonism of interests. The state and the law have very significant integrative function. Political power still can not be possessed by all and it is not possible to rule respecting equally the interests of all. The struggle for political might is in fact the struggle for the ralisation or protection of specific and primarily class interests. The theory of interest represents a bridge toward the theory of classes and class struggle.
