Global constitutionalism as a social concept: socio-philosophical analysis of socio-historical conditions of genesis and evolution

Abstract

The authors investigated the mechanism of interconnection of ideas of global constitutionalism as a social concept with social reality, denoting the socio-historical conditions of its origin and development. The article proves that emergence and development of the social concept of global constitutionalism is due to a set of socio-economic, socio-political, historical and legal conditions that, in their interrelation and interdependence, determined the main features of this social concept, as well as the forms and stages of its implementation in the social reality of national societies and states as well as internationally. These conditions for the emergence and development of the social concept of global constitutionalism can be classified into a number of stages: the stage of the formation of the social concept of global constitutionalism, the definition of its system-forming features and the formulation of global democratic values; the stage of creating international and supranational political and legal institutions acting as unified control centres of regulation and control, which consists in the forcible export of values of constitutional democracy on a planetary scale.
