STATE SOVEREIGNTY IN INTERNATIONAL AND INTEGRATION FRAMEWORKS

Abstract

Introduction. The article provides the overview of the transformation of state sovereignty due to global trends. Main stages of the historical development of this concept are indicated. The author identifies and evaluates from various positions the key «reference points» of the correlation between state sovereignty and the modern globalized world based on international law, and presents the vision of the impact of integration on it. Materials and methods. The study is based on general scientific and special methods. In view of the nature of the researched issues, the comparative legal research, as well as analogy and modelling were of particular importance. Much attention was paid to the legal framework of the EU, the EAEU, Russia and a number of foreign states, as well as to the doctrine of international law and the theory of international integration. Research results. The article presents the integrated approach to the source of state sovereignty and the primacy of its natural, national or international nature according to the modern trends. Correlation between state sovereignty and international legal personality is also reviewed. The author designs the prototype of «integration sovereignty» on the basis of theoretical approaches and practical examples. Discussion and conclusion. The author substantiates a broad interpretation of the «classical» understanding of sovereignty within the framework of international integration trends. It is noted that the presented concept requires deep understanding, theoretical study and further scientific discussion, however, ignoring its existence, according to the author, is impossible, and taking it into account in practical work is necessary.
