Organizational and Legal Aspects of Transport Logistics as a Factor of Sustainable Development

Abstract

Transport logistics is an essential factor in the sustainable development of the modern economy, since it ensures the most efficient movement of freight flows. It provides an opportunity to attract specialized organizations for cargo transportation, which frees cargo owners from non-core activities, reduces the cost of transportation of goods, and considers the interests of all participants in the logistics chain. Our study aims to analyze the organizational and legal aspects of transport organizations to ensure sustainable economic development. The development uses modern legal science and methods of scientific research to develop and improve Russian legislation governing the provision of transport and logistics services. We used materialistic dialectics, complex and system analysis, logical laws and rules, and modeling in our research. In particular, we reviewed and analyzed the norms of the current Russian legislation, their implementation by the subjects of economic activity, and the works of civil scientists in private law and specialists in other related fields. Based on the analysis of Russian legislation and doctrinal understanding of logistics services, we conducted a theoretical and applied study of the existing improvements in the legal regulation of this sphere. The logistics should be considered an economic category and a traditional institution to ensure steady transport development. We proposed amendments to existing federal laws, including changes in the name of certain sections of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation. To control organizations providing transport and logistics services, measures of public administrative impact directly affecting the sustainable development of transport are proposed.
