The main criticism concerns its conceptual weakness, isolation from the real economic and political processes dominating in the society. The concept, once widely used both in the legal and political spheres, has become a kind of “buzzword” without clearly defined content. The lack of understanding of the rule of law concept among the public and inability of the scientific community to give any generally accepted explanation of the essence of this concept is ultimately expressed in failure of the population to follow some reasonable norms of behavior. In such a situation, even moral norms surrender to the policy of force and pursuit of selfish interests. The lack of theoretical rigor in the use of the rule of law concept is the reason that ultimately led some critical scientists in the West to question the relevance of the study of various conceptual approaches to it. The rule of law concept, previously presented as the main solution to many modern problems, such as poverty, corruption, terrorism, etc., is currently experiencing a severe crisis. The author concludes that understanding of this socio-cultural phenomenon may be reached not through examining liberal values but through investigating socio-economic development of society.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p style="text-align: justify;">Проводится критический анализ идеи верховенства права в англосаксонской политико-правовой традиции. Основная критика касается ее концептуальной слабости, оторванности от реальных экономических и политических процессов, доминирующих в обществе. Идея, некогда широко используемая как в юридической, так и в политической сферах, стала своего рода «модным словечком» без четко определенного содержания. Отсутствие понимания идеи верховенства права в массах, неспособность научного сообщества дать какое-либо общепринятое объяснение сущности этой идеи в конечном счете выражается в неспособности населения следовать хоть каким-то разумным нормам поведения. В такой ситуации даже нравственные нормы уступают место политике силы и преследованию корыстных интересов. Именно отсутствие теоретической строгости в использовании идеи верховенства права в конечном итоге привело к тому, что часть критически настроенных ученых на Западе поставила под сомнение актуальность исследования различных концептуальных подходов к ней. Идея верховенства права, ранее представленная как основное решение множества современных проблем, таких как бедность, коррупция, терроризм и т.д. в настоящий момент переживает тяжелейший кризис. Автор приходит к выводу о том, что для прогрессивного понимания данного социокультурного феномена необходимы исследования, мерилом которых стали бы не либеральные ценности, а уровень социально-экономического развития общества.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>rule of law</kwd><kwd>common law</kwd><kwd>public authority</kwd><kwd>principle of legality</kwd><kwd>principle of equality</kwd><kwd>human rights and freedoms</kwd><kwd>independence of the judiciary</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>верховенство права</kwd><kwd>общее право</kwd><kwd>публичная власть</kwd><kwd>принцип законности</kwd><kwd>принцип равенства</kwd><kwd>права и свободы человека</kwd><kwd>независимость судебной власти</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Agamben, G.
