Comprehensive Theory of Self-Determination
Support
General policy criterion
Self-determination-based policy is evaluated not only by output quantities, budget size, or service speed. Its main criterion is whether a policy makes people more oriented, protected, capable, participatory, and responsible subjects.
Education and self-knowledge
Education should develop thinking, self-knowledge, responsibility, media literacy, civic language, and the ability to participate in public life. It prepares not an adaptive performer, but an oriented person able to judge information and help shape the common future.
Institutions and law
Law and public institutions should create predictability, protection, and real participation. A self-determination-based institution recognizes the citizen as a subject with rights and responsibility, not as a file, applicant, or statistical unit.
Economy and dignified autonomy
Economic policy should reduce forms of dependence: insecure work, debt pressure, monopolistic environments, and limited professional choice. Its directions include dignified work, SME capacity, access to property, financial literacy, and productivity.
Security and resilience
Security is not only a military question. It includes education, economy, technological protection, information resilience, public trust, and national will. It protects not only borders, but the source of decision in society.
Technology and AI
Data, algorithms, and AI should serve human decision rather than replace it. Policy directions include data sovereignty, algorithmic transparency, ethical rules for public AI, the principle of human final decision, and public digital literacy.
Communities and civic participation
The republic becomes stronger when communities are not only administrative units, but environments of trust, mutual recognition, local responsibility, and public co-creation. Civic participation should become a normal form of public life.
Interconnection of policy
These directions cannot work as isolated islands. Education connects to media literacy and security; economy to civic autonomy; technology to law and trust; community participation to institutional quality. The agenda must be built as an interconnected system.
