Abstract

The paper deals with the research into the most important doctrinal problems of modern law, conditioned by the rapid change in public relations under the impact of the information revolution. By means of revision of long-standing legal forms and critical rethinking of the current law, authors identify changes in the content of such concepts as goals and interests in law and their impact on the system of digital relations.

The authors rest their argument on the fact that the institutions of digital law that are being formed today cannot be solely oriented towards the priority of the market and economic laws, domination of certain economic and social systems, and facilitation of activities of state institutions. They suggest that the welfare of people, the community and states as political alliances of people and communities, as well as the arrangement of conditions for the improvement of national legal cultures should be chosen as the axiological guidepost of digitization.

The paper presents the scientific results achieved by the authors during the research; in particular, such categories as “legal interest”, “main trends of law”, “legal symbiosis”, “digital economy”, etc. have been defined. The authors believe that imperative and dispositive methods of regulation are no longer representative of the entire range of needs and interests that can be formalized by legal and technical means. Balancing and proportionality of rights and liabilities of actors became new demands of the society to jurisprudence.

The paper demonstrates that strategic planning and legal support of national legal interests belong to the primary goals of the legal policy of a modern state. In addition, internal and external problems have been formulated, and their solution requires the formation of the national legal interests by the state.
