Abstract
Aim. To analyze modern approaches to the problem of state sovereignty, trying to comprehend its actually relative and largely conventional nature in the modern world, to identify research problems, without solving which it is impossible to modernize the classical theory of sovereignty; as well as to try to give a concept of state sovereignty based on their theoretical solution. This concept would be more adequate in terms of meaning and content, uniting its idea, factual and legal content in a single formula.
Methodology. The work uses general scientific methods (system analysis and synthesis, dialectical, formal logical) and special research methods (comparative legal, historical legal, formal legal).
Results. The theoretical understanding of the methodological problems of the study of sovereignty, present in all modern approaches to this phenomenon, led the author to the conclusion that their solution is possible only on the basis of the basic postulates of its classical concept, which originates from J. Bodin, since it contains a fairly clear approach to solving most of these problems.
Research implications of the article lie in the fact that, having carried out a certain correction of the classical concept in relation to the modern era of the globalization decline and the formation of a multipolar world, the author proposes ways to solve a number of methodological problems in the study of sovereignty and gives his own definition, which claims to be universal.
