Abstract
The publication is devoted to the study of legal means of resolving social conflicts in Ukraine under conditions of European integration. It is noted that “legal means” are a key category of the instrumental theory of law. Legal means are a system of methods, means, and techniques of achieving a private or public purpose by subjects of legal relations provided for by law. Using an instrumental approach to understanding the law allows us to identify the full range of legal means to solve a particular problem. The main causes of social conflicts in Ukraine and the ways of their solution with the help of specific legal means are determined. As a result of the processes of globalization and European integration in Ukraine, there is a slight growth of the economy mainly due to the production and export of raw materials (metal, grain, etc.); a fall in the rate of the national currency (because we spend-import a lot more than earn-export); the outflow of labour abroad. The social tensions in society are increasing due to the low income and the high cost of the grocery basket (prices for exported goods are increasing, as there is an alternative to the national producer – to send the products for export or sell for a similar, higher domestic price in the domestic market, as it happens with domestic chicken, which is currently actively exported to the Middle East). A high level of corruption in the business sector is added to the list of these problems, as confirmed by the rating of the international agency Ernst & Young. The described situation requires an effective and prompt solution through specific legal means. Legal means in the context of the topic under study can include all methods provided by the current legislation for solving social conflicts, among which: – improvement of the current legislation in terms of protecting the national producer and stimulating the creation of new jobs; – increased legal liability for corruption offenses and the exclusion of the possibility of release on bail of detainees for unlawful benefits of individuals; – eliminating gaps in the legislation on registration of legal entities and individual entrepreneurs in order to counteract fictitious business and convert cashless funds (at present, a limited liability company is created without a statutory capital and is not liable to creditors and the budget in the event of bankruptcy, and most banks and insurance companies perform the function of conversion centres); – support for small- and medium-sized businesses through the creation of a legal basis for entrepreneurs micro-lending by state banks at a minimum percentage per annum but with transparent terms for the valuation of mortgaged property; – adoption of the Law of Ukraine “On Public Control”, which clearly regulates the powers of public controllers and their functions in exercising control over the activities of law enforcement and other bodies of state power. The above list, of course, is not exhaustive and requires a separate scientific study to formulate concrete proposals for improving national legislation and legal practice, which determines the prospects for further research on this topic.
