Politics and education as regulatory correlates of power

Abstract

The article denotes the relationship between the regulatory purpose of politics and education, which form coherent power as a dialectical unity of political power interested in the legal legitimation of its status and legal power, appealing to the power represented by the state, on the one hand, and their denial of each other as the embodiment of the paradigms of efficiency (politics) and legitimation (law), on the other hand. A descriptive-analytical method is utilized to meet that aim. Based on the results, the efficiency paradigm is determined by the factor of result, and the legitimation paradigm is determined by the factor of process. The interaction of these paradigms gives rise to an antinomic contradiction, which is an attributive characteristic of the educational and legal regulation of social processes.
