Interaction of legal and political systems in Ukraine: problems and ways to solve them

The article examines the main aspects of the interaction of legal and political systems to create conditions for the stable development of the state, strengthening and maintenance of law and order. The effectiveness of the political system is ensured by the coherence of the actions of all components of the system, which, in turn, is achieved with the help of legal means. The legal system, embodying the normative basis, affects social relations and ensures their stability; and the political system, in turn, is connected with a special sphere of people’s activity - politics, which reflects the sphere of relations between classes, social groups, collectives, and citizens regarding state power. The formation of the modern legal system of Ukraine in accordance with international, in particular with European legal standards is a complex and multifunctional process, and therefore requires a deep scientific analysis of the legal reality and the development of conceptual foundations of its functioning and development. The current period of development of the Ukrainian legal system (which in its genesis and legal features is similar to the legal system of the Romano-Germanic type) is connected both with the improvement of the main features of continental law and with the formation of effective ways of bringing it closer to European international legal systems. In the current situation, the need to create a single legal space, within which it would be possible to quickly achieve effective cooperation between states that have different economic and legal systems, is becoming urgent. Having considered the existing legal systems, we can already conclude that Ukraine undoubtedly belongs to the family of the continental legal system. However, in our country, private law, for example, is extremely underdeveloped. For a long time, the main attention was paid mainly to the development of public law. It is likely that the great difficulties of implementing a socially oriented market economy and entrepreneurship in our country are connected with this. The low legal awareness of the population of Ukraine in the field of private law also stands in the way of the integration of our state into the world economic space.
