| Summary: | The European vector of modern Ukrainian politics involves a broad and thorough acquaintance
with the latest achievements of European and world legal thought. Domestic jurisprudence, which has
been developing for many years in line with the orthodox Marxist methodology, overcomes not only
ideological isolation, but also produces a new research culture based on the study and understanding
of modern trends in foreign jurisprudence. It is necessary to emphasize that this process is only
unfolding and is not always implemented in specific studies, in particular, dissertation studies, where
the use of works by foreign authors on the studied issues is often absent, and, therefore, the latest
methodological approaches and theoretical and doctrinal developments of the world's leading experts
are not taken into account. As before, little information is published in domestic legal periodicals about
foreign research centers and schools in various fields of law, activities of foreign legal scholars,
academic publishing houses and authoritative periodicals. All this fully applies to our science of
constitutional law, which encourages us to more actively cover the study of constitutional law in
foreign countries, publishing activity and activities of scientific centers related to the problems of
constitutional law.
One of the internationally recognized centers of modern constitutional studies is the Max
Planck Institute of Comparative Public Law and International Law (Heidelberg, Germany). His research
in many respects sets the tone and determines the direction of modern constitutional and legal
investigations. The article provides a detailed description of the work of the Institute, which is built on
the principles of theoretical and methodological pluralism, individual projects are specifically directed
to the use of different methodological approaches. It is noted that the research is conducted in two
forms: 1) doctrinal and theoretical analysis - problem-oriented fundamental research that seeks to
reveal the structures, development and regularities of constitutional and international law; 2)
systematic analysis and comparison of legal norms in order to solve current legal problems or carry
out reforms. The relatively low level of abstraction of such studies is explained by the need to provide
specific recommendations to officials or practicing lawyers. The institute strives for broad relations
with the public. It is noted that the Institute occupies a leading position in world constitutionalism in
terms of the volume of research conducted, the wide coverage of topics and the depth of theoretical
analysis. His achievements must be taken into account by the domestic science of constitutional law. |
