Implementation of Sociocentrism and Anthropocentrism Ideas in Licensing

The article considers the embodiment of the ideas of sociocentrism and anthropocentrism in licensing as one of the ways of regulating economic relations and a variety of administrative procedures. The article analyzes the legislation of the Russian Federation, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and the USA. The methodology of the study includes philosophical, logical, formal-dogmatic and comparative-legal methods. The article states that the expression of the concepts of sociocentrism and anthropocentrism represents the priority of either public or private interests in legal regulation. Anthropocentrism in licensing means the priority of the rights and interests of applicants and licensees, as well as other interested entities, while the manifestation of sociocentrism in licensing is conditioned by the priority of public interests. In the legislation of the Russian Federation and the regulations of the countries of the Anglo-Saxon legal family, licensing is aimed at protecting public interests, which means that legal regulation is predominantly sociocentric in nature. Also, the priority of public interests is expressed in the establishment of licensing requirements, since their compliance ensures achievement of the goal of legal regulation. The implementation of administrative procedures is also conditioned by a sociocentric approach. At the same time, the ideas of anthropocentrism are expressed in the establishment of the right to appeal against decisions and actions of government entities provided for both in the framework of administrative and judicial appeals. In the UK and the USA, in order to take into account the interests of interested persons whose status differs from the license applicant and the licensee, it is possible to participate in administrative procedures, which should also be considered as a manifestation of the approach of prioritizing individual rights.
