An Institute of the State in the Face of Progress of Information and Computer Technologies: Legal aspects of Countering Threats and Risks

Abstract

The article highlights that a transforming society of the early 21st century significantly changes the conditions for the functioning of the social institution of the state creating a number of threats and challenges to social order and stability, particularly in an information and communication subsystem, as well as in a number of other subsystems and structural elements. Due to the prevailing objective circumstances, the social institution of the State, by exercising its social control functions, will inevitably strengthen and modernize the system of rules of law designed to counter emerging threats and challenges effectively.
