Роль квазивластных отношений в трансформации механизма правового регулирования международных отношений

Abstract

Introduction. The article concerns the problems and prospects of the impact of quasi-power relations on the existing system of legal regulation of international relations. Purpose. The purpose of the work is to identify international quasi-power relations and the nature of their influence on the existing model of legal regulation of international relations. Methodology. The research methodology is based on a dialectical-materialistic approach to understanding and explaining legal and historical patterns, predicting their development. Results. The existing form of regulation of international relations, due to the impact of quasi-power relations, is at the stage of an intensifying crisis and needs prompt civilized reform. Conclusion. Based on the legitimate nature of power relations, the author comes to the conclusion that the existing conflict between the legal form and content of international relations is aggravated at the level of international law not by power relations, but by their antipode, i.e. quasi-power relations manifesting themselves in international customs of the use of military force, the activities of private military companies and national intelligence services, and in unilateral economic sanctions. This practice fundamentally contradicts the existing coordination system of public international law and devalues its significance. This contradiction necessitates a change in the system of legal regulation of international relations before this happens as a result of another global war, which historically has been a way to overcome and remove accumulated contradictions.
