Legal development modelling in the context of global issues

Abstract

Introduction. The article is devoted to identification of interrelations between the modeling of legal development of public relations and global issues. The necessity of using modeling methods in the development of regulatory impact mechanisms and the importance of taking into account modern megatrends in this process are substantiated. Although the history of researching legal development modeling accounts for more than half a century, the establishment of the relationship of modern problems with the methods of legal forecasting is a relatively new area of research.Materials and methods. The methodological basis of the work consists of general scientific and special methods of knowledge of legal phenomena and processes, such as the method of historical and logical analysis, the structural method, the axiomatic method and the method of comparative law. The UN data on demographic dynamics of the population are used.Research results. The article presents a structural and legal model for achieving the UN sustainable development goals, which comprises two levels: elaborative and integral. In the course of the analysis significant interrelations between modern global problems and legal development modeling have been established.Discussion and conclusions. The discussion of solutions to global problems in the scientific literature highlighted the importance of joint efforts to achieve the desired result. According to the author, legal development modeling can become one of the effective tools for solving current global problems of our time.
