Constitutional Futurology and the Science of Law. "Cryptocurrency" File

Abstract

The fascinating acceleration of social dynamics leads to a critical perception of the traditional methodology of law, which predominantly goes back to the dogma of legal positivism. Modern science of law is intended to assess current trends leading to a qualitative transformation of social systems in the near and distant future, and to propose leading models of their regulatory framework. The concept of constitutional futurology, which takes into account the need to maintain adherence to the principle of the rule of law, even in a situation of growing critical threats and challenges posed by technological and social innovations, is associated with the solution of such tasks. Constitutional futurology can be understood as the current edition of the academic policy of law. At the same time, unlike the latter, it avoids competing dogma and consistently adheres to constitutional legal thinking. On this basis, it becomes possible to consolidate and synchronize sectoral legal studies of the "sleeping factors" of the postmodern era and the digital economy. The phenomenon of cryptocurrency and blockchain technology is taken into focus.
