Socialinė s gerovė s koncepcijos ir pilietybė s renta Zenonas Norkus kaip viešosios politikos orientyrai
Concepts of social welfare and citizenship rent as guidelines of public policy

Summary/Abstract: The article provides a metatheoretical analysis of the ideas of social welfare and public policy goals recorded in the essential documents of the contemporary Lithuanian state. Two methods are applied: a hermeneutical-historical analysis of legal and political texts, and that of rational reconstruction, which is used to infer metatheoretical foundations of the value and normative statements expressed in these texts. The most important among them is the Constitution of the Republic of Lithuania which is considered as social contract constituting Lithuanian political nation. Three layers of the citizenship rights – civil rights, political rights, and social rights – are identified in the body of Constitution.
