Legal political science as a post-non-classical research paradigm

Abstract

Introduction. The institutionalization of legal political science in the structure of political science and legal knowledge as a process of forming a new post-non-classical research paradigm is studied. The integration of politics and law within the framework of legal political science is a reflection of the objective interaction and development of politics and law in the modern world. The creation of legal political science as a research paradigm in the context of the integration of scientific knowledge confirmates that the development of science is a complex, complex dialectical process in which differentiation is accompanied by integration, there is interpenetration and unification into a whole variety of different ways of learning, understanding , ideas. Therefore, the aim of the article is to trace the institutionalization of legal political science as a new post-nonclassical research paradigm. The paradigm is a set of fundamental scientific attitudes, concepts and terms that is recognized and shared by the scientific community and unites most of its members. In essence, the paradigm is the methodological basis of the unity of the scientific community (school, direction), which greatly facilitates scientific and professional communication. The relationship between law and politics has been recognized by political scientists and lawyers alike, so it can serve as a paradigmatic basis for exploring the problems of this relationship, the features of the interaction between law and policy, and even solving applied problems. According to scientists, the need to unite the efforts of political scientists and lawyers in order to comprehensively understand the phenomena and processes occurring in the political and legal reality, in order to bring the methodology of political and legal research in line with the needs of regulating public life, is being actualized and increasing. Results and conclusions. The formation of legal political science as a transdisciplinary science and the understanding of the political and legal processes in Ukraine through its methodological tools will help to improve legislation and implement reforms. Legal political science should become the scientific basis for the development of political and legal practice, the successful provision and implementation of reforms in the political and legal spheres of the state.
