Abstract

In the article a general theoretical analysis of legal co-creation and a brief description of the methodological foundations of its research are given. For the most comprehensive consideration of legal co-creation, it is proposed to use such resources of dialectical logic as “paired categories”, not only systemic (within the category of “legal system”) and complex (within the category of “socio-legal life”), but also cultural approach, as well as a number of other methods (in particular, sociological, historical, statistical, comparative law and formal law). Due to the fact that legal co-creation in modern society (following socio-legal life) is developing and becoming more complicated, it is concluded that further research is necessary, which will ensure: firstly, its more complete knowledge and prediction of consequences, secondly, the development of effective incentive measures that encourage stakeholders actively implement this process; thirdly, strengthening of counteraction to the factors hindering cooperation in the law-making sphere.
