Global democracy in the functionality structure of the modern state

Abstract

The article is devoted to the identification of the key trends that make up the content of innovations in the development of the functions of a modern state.

These include, first of all, the formation of global governance, leading to a shift in emphasis from institutional to functional sovereignty of a state. Transformations of democratic institutions in the globalized world lead to a significant shift in the vision of the functional characteristics of the state.

Global governance creates a challenge for the theory of state functions, which traditionally was built around the paradigm of a national state. Today, although states still remain central elements in the governing of social processes, they are not the only ones. Today there is a vertical 

synchronization of legal orders, as a result of which some functions cannot be uniquely attributed to a state or to a supranational structure.

The main attention is paid to the influence of global democracy on the functional structure of the modern state. Global governance and global democracy open up new opportunities, first of all, by promoting the establishment of more effective communication channels between the state and society, and secondly, by limiting the state in its activities, as they provide more tools of control in the hands of citizens.

The research was carried out taking into account modern world processes in the direction of global democracy. It is also impossible to ignore the military events that are taking place in modern, democratic Ukraine and do not correspond to democratic world values and standards of humanity.
