ОКРЕМІ МЕТОДОЛОГІЧНІ АСПЕКТИ ЗОВНІШНЬОЇ КРИМІНАЛЬНО-ПРАВОВОЇ ПОЛІТИКИ УКРАЇНИ

The article examines the key methodological aspects of Ukraine's foreign criminal and legal policy. In modern conditions of globalization, crime is increasingly becoming transnational in nature, which requires effective interaction of the state with international institutions. The author analyzes the role of scientific methods, such as dialectical, comparative law, historical, formal-legal, statistical and sociological, in the study of this issue. Foreign criminal and legal policy is considered as a multifaceted system that combines legal, political and international aspects to combat crime. The importance of harmonizing national legislation with international standards is emphasized, as well as the need for a critical review of traditional methodological approaches to ensure effective integration into the international legal space. The importance of methodology for the study of legal phenomena, its influence on the formation and implementation of foreign criminal and legal policy as a component of the general legal policy of the state is revealed. The author emphasizes the need to revise traditional research methods, which are based mainly on a formal-legal approach that does not take into account dynamic changes in the global legal environment. It is noted that improving the methodological tools will contribute to the harmonization of the national legal system with international standards, strengthening the international authority of Ukraine, as well as increasing the effectiveness of the fight against crim e. The results of the study are aimed at improving the mechanisms of international cooperation of Ukraine, adapting the legal system to modern challenges and ensuring the sustainable development of the rule of law. Thus, the study of methodological aspects of Ukraine's foreign criminal law policy not only deepens the scientific understanding of this area, but also forms the foundation for creating an effective strategy for international interaction adapted to the modern challenges of globalization. Particular attention is paid to the importance of implementing independent methodological reflection as a means of adapting national legal policy to international standards. Emphasis is placed on the importance of integrating criminal law norms of Ukraine into the international legal space. The author emphasizes that deepening methodological knowledge and developing new approaches will ensure the effective coexistence of national and international legal system s, contributing to their harmonization.
