Abstract

The development of mankind at the present stage can be fully characterized as a crisis. The global challenges facing humanity are not provided with sufficient ideological potential. In other words, humanity as a whole (this applies not only to Russia) has a global crisis of ideas about its further movement and response to modern challenges. This fully applies to the phenomenon of law. The destruction of the existing world order leads to a reduction in the ability of the means of International Law to ensure peace and good-neighbourly relations between States; attempts to extend their jurisdictions by some countries increase the already significant conflict potential of our time. The sphere of law is also being tested within the country; the law has become significant in scope, complex; it “invades” those areas that have traditionally been “assigned” to other regulators. The sharp increase in the number of laws adopted is not accompanied by the sustainability of decisions; the existing laws are constantly changing; against the background of the loss or reduction of many value orientations, increasing differentiation of subjects of regulation, this leads to a “gap” between the law and the regulated relations, the loss of the value of the law itself as a regulator of relations, the devaluation of the law and the law. In the article from the standpoint of interdisciplinary analysis an attempt is made to understand the modern crisis phenomena; some conclusions are proposed, which, in the author's opinion, can reverse the existing negative trends.
