Problems of Legal Regulation of Electronic and Digital Means in the Political and Legal Process

The article provides a comprehensive analysis of the problems of legal regulation of the use of electronic and digital means in the political and legal process through their analysis in various spheres of public life.

It is positioned that globalization and digitalization of the social and communication space affect all spheres of human life, the state and the community, but the most significant transformations in the political and legal process are represented in three main blocks - electronic government (digital society is manifested through the use of electronic administrative services for citizens and business, the updated possibility of public administration), electronic elections (transformation of the electoral process, and in general the latest possibilities for the implementation of political rights of citizens, including the right to participate in the management of state affairs, which is carried out virtually via the Internet) and electronic justice.

The problems faced by the regulation of electronic and digital means in the political and legal process are identified: establishing synergy between technical regulations and the system of human rights protection; finding the optimal balance between the protection of personal data and ensuring public interest in access to information; ensuring the principle of legal certainty in the context of a rapidly changing technological sphere at the state level; solving the problem of countering cyber threats and information security.

It is summarized that the historical paradigm of globalization of political and legal established processes is collapsing. Digitalization and globalization of the economy stimulate the processes of international regulatory cooperation and harmonization of legislation, the use of new approaches in the development and adoption of regulatory legal acts.

Fragmentation of transnational data flows and corresponding management structures arise all over the world as a result of fundamental differences in management mechanisms. Therefore, it is seen that full-fledged international standard legislation will not be created at the present stage, since there is no global political will, therefore, a national approach to standardizing problems and technological phenomena of the electronic-digital society is being updated.
