An analysis of the economic principles of the Constitution reveals regulations for economic domains fundamentally based on the ideals of self-sufficiency and national independence. According to Article 44 of the Constitution, economic regulations are divided into three sectors: state, cooperative, and private. Contrary to the tendency of governments toward economic centralization and state intervention, the General Policies of Article 44, its executive regulations, and related legislation have taken steps toward privatization, downsizing the government, limiting its intervention, and increasing public participation in the economy. The neglect of the Constitution’s capacities (particularly in the cooperative sector) and, on the other hand, the improper implementation of the mentioned general policies and executive regulations have weakened the potential for strengthening a participatory and resistance-based economy. This research, in response to the question of how the overlooked foresight of the Constitution—with its resistance-participatory orientation—relates to the economic efficiency of subordinate regulations, adopts a descriptive-analytical method with a legal-economic approach. By relying on internal solidarity (participation-centered economy) and rejecting external dependency (economic resilience), it examines the legal capacities of the Constitution in economic domains, as well as subordinate documents and regulations. The study argues that neglecting normative and policy opportunities poses a threat that must be transformed into an advantageous opportunity by integrating sustainability and participatory goals in an endogenous manner, thereby realizing a resistance-oriented and participation-driven economy.
