THEORETICAL AND LEGAL UNDERSTANDING OF THE ESSENCE OF MODERN STATEHOOD AND NATIONAL INTERESTS
The author argues in favor of his own position regarding the creation of a methodological scheme for the study of such phenomena as the state, statehood and the interest of the state. The article notes that a large number of existing speculative constructions concerning their content features arose because of the real complexity and multidimensional nature of these phenomena (they are directly related to the economic, social, political, legal side of society), and because of the multiplicity of variations in their interpretation, determined by the formed during the history of civilizational (cultural-social, religious and ethnopsychological) dissimilarity of States and societies, the national-state system of positive law, its inherent to some legal community. It is pointed out that by improving the jurisprudence and saturating it with new substantive aspects, preventing artificial generalization of the civilizational and cultural diversity of the current environment, such a set complicates the real solution of actual world, state and regional problems of establishing and implementing the interests of the state, ensuring sovereign statehood, especially those States that have gained it in the previous two decades. The author comes to the conclusion that the interests of the state, if considered from a theoretical and legal point of view, are understood as a coordinated complex of real needs of preservation and evolution of society, which are the determinants of the key vectors of implementation of political public power. The concept of "interests of the state" combines the interests of the national level (public interests in General, socio-corporate, individual interests) and the interests of state power, perceived as its desire and willingness to implement the goals of society as a whole.
