“Soft organizations” in the architecture of international economic relations: the international legal aspect
Journal Title: Альманах міжнародного права - Year 2018, Vol 19, Issue
Abstract
The scientific article analyzes the main preconditions for increasing the role and significance of the system of normative regulation of international economic relations in the socalled “informal” international formations (“soft organizations”, “paraorganizations”), the brightest examples of which are Group 7, Group 20, Paris Club, London Club, FATF. The notion of “soft organizations” is still controversial, as the notion of the legal nature and how it belongs to the sources of international “soft law” acts that are widely used in their work. The classification of such organizations is not even established - sometimes their analysis is limited by intergovernmental structures, sometimes including international non-state regular economic forums and regular meetings of leading politicians and statesmen, businessmen and experts. The growth of the influence of “soft organizations” and “soft law” on the formation of the system of international legal regulation of economic relations follows the tendencies of “mitigation”, “non-formalization” of public administration, transition from the “hard” power method to “soft” means influence (“soft power”), the arsenal of which includes the formation, coordination and appeal to common values, ideals, projects, interests. It was emphasized that the place and role of “soft organization” and their “soft-law” decisions, which can be accepted by both state and non-state actors (actors) of international relations in the architecture of international legal regulation of economic relations, will have more and more expressive forms and values. The peculiarity of the present stage of the activity of soft organizations is the prospect of formalization (institutionalization) of them by means of transformation into international organizations as a whole or at the level of separate structural elements for more effective realization of their tasks and functions, and strengthening of an independent regulatory role in international economic relations for review to a greater degree of adaptability, constructiveness and flexibility of their informal, mild nature.
