Determinants of Bureaucratization of Law in Russian Society
https://doi.org/10.17803/2542-2472.2022.21.1.032-040
Abstract
The article analyzes the category of bureaucratization of law, which is considered as a process of increasing the number, volume and detail of normative legal acts, rationalization, formalization and concretization of the normative array, aimed at constructing the maximum possible in the conditions of this socio-cultural chronotope of a seamless and conflict-free legal reality. An attempt is made to study this category not only ontologically, but also axiologically. This made it possible to identify the relationship of the bureaucratization process with the national system of legal values and to conclude that the nature and direction of the bureaucratization of law are determined not only by the internal logic of the development of the legal system, but also by value factors, among which the normative type of legal understanding prevailing in Russia and the legal archetype of statism characteristic of Russian society should be named first.
