Sažetak
The search for the answers to how to arrive at the best possible social organising solutions has been conducted from the beginnings of social organising. In simple terms the question is how to reconcile and balance out individual people’s needs and interests with common interests of the community. Corresponding solutions lie within the system, self-organisation and autopoiesis theories. Entire constitutional engineering is the concept of searching for the answers as who, what, when, where, how, with whom, with what means, at what price and other. It is a complex process since it comprises not only analyses, initiatives, suggestions, decision-making but also application, supervising and opening of new cycles of analyses, initiatives etc. In theory this is known as social technology of decision-making, as good governance. Thus, it is necessary to reflect on national states as part of political sphere within which rule of personal freedom, civil equality and social justice are realised and guaranteed and in this sense system of local and regional self-governance is formed. The principle of subsidiarity, besides teleologic interpretation enables among other principles ( proportionality, equilisation and alike) the optimal social organising. Subsidiarity is the right measure for restricting state powers. We are faced with development of democracy, tolerance, multiculturalism primarily at the local level as a corrective to centralism, intolerance, self-sufficiency etc. In other words, the localisation processes need to oppose globalisation processes. As long as institutions are vital and their features suitable, primarily their effectiveness and democratic quality, so are they destined to live and function. It is most important that there is less rigidity and more elasticity in autopoietic conception. This, in other words, means that every entity is a part and a whole that is unique, cognitively open and normatively closed. Autopoietic vision is the best manifestation of creative imagination and most important motivator of human actions. It comprises the ability to see the current reality from other perspective as well, it is a basic force of finality. Autopoietic mission with autopoietic decision- making technology is necessary as well. The sooner we become aware that motivation, knowledge, team-work, technology and finances are the most important factors of (not) being successful, the sooner the quality development of all and everybody shall start. It is important to open and guarantee (about) equal opportunities for every individual and all regions.
