INTEGRATION AS AN OBJECT OF RESEARCH OF LEGAL SCIENCES

The solution of both theoretical and practical problems related to the legal support of integration processes determines the relevance of the search for appropriate methodological approaches to the study of this problem. Reference to the problems of methodology of studying the legal nature and law of integration of interstate associations is important, as there is still no uniformity in the theoretical interpretation and methods of research of legal integration. The purpose of this article is to consider the possibilities of application of interdisciplinary, multidisciplinary, transdisciplinary (system) approaches to the study of certain problems related to the legal support of integration. The analysis of the chosen problems is based on the provisions of domestic and foreign scientific works devoted to the problems of the methodology of jurisprudence. As a result of the research, the author comes to the conclusion that in the conditions of the global world complex objects of reality, which also include integration, can not be cognizable within one scientific discipline, which is a significant argument in favor of referring to interdisciplinary, multidisciplinary and systemic methodology. The choice of the appropriate methodological approach to the study of integration depends on: the essence and characteristics of the object of study; the objectives of the study; the purpose of the study. No less important aspect in the study of integration is the appeal to the axiological aspects of integration processes, and therefore, the study of various aspects of regional economic integration, for example, cultural, sociological, psychological, aimed at the study of values and goals of integration, the state of society, the role of man in the integration process.
