МОЋ ПРАВА У САВРЕМЕНОМ ДРУШТВУ – СОЦИОЛОШКИ АСПЕКТ
THE POWER OF LAW IN A MODERN SOCIETY - SOCIOLOGICAL ASPECT

Summary/Abstract: The rule of law is the basis of a well-ordered society. Sociology shows interest in all forms and elements of legal power and its effect on justice, government institutions and citizens. The role of power in the creation and functioning of law in society is manifested in the power of legal institutions and the legal system to regulate and control the whole society. In concrete legal and social practice, power is manifested through the implementation of procedures, regulations, interpretations, changes, transformations and additions to legal norms and the creation of conditions for their operation as mechanisms and instruments of direct control of individuals, groups, communities and society. The social utility and importance of the power of law is reflected in its presence in all segments of social life. The power of law and order is manifested as personal and collective security in society. In the international order marked by socio-economic inequalities, disturbance or threat to justice, the rise of new types of power and its unequal distribution, the question of the role of law arises. International law emerges as a sphere of equality and stability. However, as strong states seek to limit and instrumentalize the role of international law. This creates tensions. In modern conditions, in the international communication of states, two tendencies are manifested - turning law into an instrument of demonstration and application of force and law without power. In bouth cases, the law loses its efficiency.
