Doctrine ideas about law-making and its policy

In the article, the author reveals the features of the current state of scientific understanding of the phenomenon of law-making. It was noted that law-making occupies a special place in the activity of the state, the main purpose of which is the adoption, change and cancellation of legal norms formalized in the relevant forms of law. For law-making as a special form of legally significant activity carried out by authorized subjects (the people, subjects of public authority, public organizations), the question of its understanding remains important from a scientific point of view, which will allow a more accurate and comprehensive answer to the question of: 1 ) what exactly is created as a result of law-making; 2) what purpose it pursues; 3) what is its significance at the current stage of development of the legal system. Despite the fact that law-making has a long history of its scientific research and is currently represented by a wide range of approaches to understanding, it is worth noting that a clear doctrinal understanding of this phenomenon has not been developed in legal science. The presence of various approaches to its scientific understanding proves the multifacetedness of the studied phenomenon and requires strengthening the conceptualization of such scientific results. The above proves the relevance of the scientific development of law-making through the prism of its doctrinal understanding and the characteristics of the current state of its development. On the basis of a critical analysis of the views of scientists presented in legal science, which relate to the understanding of law-making, the author concluded that modern researchers justify the expediency of an expanded understanding of law­making, which is aimed not only at the creation of normative legal acts, but also other forms of law, in particular judicial precedents and international legal contracts and acts. It is proven that law-making is primarily a socio-cultural phenomenon, which is carried out in accordance with the interests of society, the state, etc. Therefore, the concept of «politics» plays an important role in understanding law-making, which characterizes law-making from the point of view of an independent sphere and direction of activity, which: 1) determines the content of law-making; 2) directs the work of responsible entities; 3) and most importantly, it ensures the gradual, objectively determined development of the legal system, statehood and civil society.
