THE RULE-OF-LAW STATE: MODELING, DEVELOPMENT PROSPECTS

Abstract

The concept of the rule-of-law state in Russia, analyzed by F.A. Vestov and other authors, remains relevant today. The existence of numerous historical and legal approaches to the category of «rule-of-law state» is impressive. Taking into account the rapid changes in Russia’s foreign and national policy, significant scientific results can be obtained by analyzing the values of the rule-of-law state. This analysis is interesting, in particular, in the area of state counteraction to transnational crimes. The purpose of the research is to identify innovative trajectories for the development of the concept of the rule-of-law state, to develop algorithms for solving some modern problems. The following research methods are applied: observation, comparison, experiment, abstraction. The main conclusions: for a long period of national history, the only methodology of Marxism-Leninism was used to analyze the category of the rule-of-law state. It may be promising to compare the scientific achievements of the past period of history with the results of modern researches carried out using other methodologies. The maximal rejection of the class approach in the analysis of the values of the rule-of-law state can give a serious impetus to the further development of this theory. The inverse phenomena of globalization – anti-globalization that came to Russia after the processes of globalization can also have a significant impact on the interpretation of the concept of the rule-of-law state. This is particularly evident in the analysis of the process of organizing and implementing the fight against transnational crimes. The analysis of this sphere of social relations requires a new look at the concept of the separation of powers in modern Russian reality.
