Abstract

U ovom radu se istražuje povezanost između regulacije kriptovaluta i državnog uređenja, poglavito liberalne demokracije. Cilj je potvrditi ili odbaciti hipotezu Henry H. Perritta Jr. o sposobnosti liberalnih demokracija da integriraju tehnologije koje bi se mogle smatrati štetnim za suverenost država. Istražena je regulacija kriptovaluta u 29 država koje su poduzele konkretne regulatorne stavove. Njihova regulacija je analizirana i države su kategorizirane u tri skupine regulatornog statusa: integrirajuće, represivne i agresivne. Nakon toga su tri skupine zemalja uspoređene sa svakom od pet mjera slobode. Navedene mjere slobode su bile podijeljene u političke, ekonomske i miješane slobode. To je napravljeno kako bismo saznali kako svaka od njih utječe na rezultate istraživanja. U konačnici se putem grafova i izračuna prikazala korelacija između regulatornog statusa i slobode u državi. U ovom radu je otkriveno da postoji statistički značajna, snažna korelacija između regulatornog statusa i političkih sloboda u državi. Korelacija između regulatornog statusa i ekonomskih sloboda u državi je također statistički značajna, ali osrednja.

Abstract (english)

In this paper the connection between cryptocurrency regulation and state political systems, mainly liberal democracy, is being researched. The goal is to confirm or reject the hypothesis of Henry H. Perrit Jr. about the ability of liberal democracies to integrate technologies which might be considered harmful for the sovereignty of a state. The regulations of 29 states, which have taken concrete regulatory stances, have been researched. The states were categorized in three groups of regulatory statuses (integrating, repressive, aggressive) based on the analysis of their regulation. The three groups are then compared with each of the five measures of freedom. The measures of freedom were divided into political, economic and mixed freedoms. It has been done in such a way that we may know how each of them influences the results of this research. Finally, the correlation between the regulatory status and freedom in the state is shown by graphs and score. In this paper a statistically significant and strong correlation between regulatory status and political freedom in a state has been discovered. The correlation between regulatory status and economic freedom in a state is also statistically significant but mediocre.
