Directions for improving the concept of state sovereignty in the conditions of real multipolarity

The purpose of the article is to emphasise the main directions for improving the concept of State sovereignty and to analyse the system of concepts, terms and scientific categories of State theory and law, taking into account the provisions of the National Security Strategy of the Russian Federation in the context of globalization and localization processes. The author used a historical approach as well as methods of analysis, observation, formal legal method. The understanding of the word globalization as synonym of Americanization and Westernization has been transformed into multi-vectoral and multipolar. In order to study State-legal reality in the new context, it is proposed to outline the ways of improving the traditional concept of State sovereignty in terms of the use of the categories of legalistic and de facto State sovereignty. The problem of updating issues directly related to the strengthening of Russian State sovereignty and the creation of a reliable system of guarantees of State sovereignty, as defined in the National Security Strategy of the Russian Federation, was analysed. The conclusion reached is that a new, real multipolarity is now forming, and the States should build a system for the continuous monitoring of existing and imminent various risks and challenges, threatening the sovereignty of the State. All this points to the need of improving the system of effective guarantees of State sovereignty, taking into account the realization of human and civil rights and freedoms in the Russian Federation.
