Abstract

[In English]

Rather than facing neoliberalism and markets as two-sides of the same capitalistic coin, the paper acknowledges that neoconservatism also should be involved in the conversation as a comparison of ideologies. As a way to move beyond the current left vs. right political spectrum, a new contrast is presented between the precautionary and proactionary principles, through the work of Steve Fuller. Likewise a way to measure the institutionalisation of precautionary and proactionary principles is confronted in the Institutional Matrix Theory of Svetlana Kirdina. The paper concludes by suggesting that a post-neoclassical approach aimed at achieving proportionality can provide benefits in both research and practise by harmonising the dynamics of institutional change in the areas of politics, economics and ideology.
