Legal Document in a Data-Driven Society

Abstract

In the modern globalizing transforming society there is a growing need for legal documents aimed at maintaining stability and order. Data-driven social space creates a new context determining the peculiarities of a legal text being. This article is aimed at describing this context and revealing trends that make it possible to talk about the possible establishment of regulatory framework of globalizing society. The study is carried out with the application of a systemic approach, hermeneutic and phenomenological techniques. The authors conclude that establishment of a legitimate regulatory framework in a globalizing social space is inextricably connected with mass media discourse strategies of powerful capacity to form public opinion, as well as with public activities in information policy that would develop an ideology consistent with cultural and historical traditions of particular states, national mindset and wouldn’t contradict a workflow of general civilization processes. The legitimacy of regulatory enactments also depends on expertise of a legal subject: an ability to combine sound reasoning and psychological methods of persuasion with continuous learning in socio-cultural and linguistic contexts.
