Fourth Industrial Revolution

Under the conditions of the fourth industrial revolution the objectively developing processes in the economy should receive adequate legal support, not only taking into account the potential positive results, but also able to identify and neutralize the possible negative impact and consequences of accelerated transformation. This circumstance has given rise to the integrated relationship of the project with one of the fundamental areas of modern jurisprudence – the study of the economy digital algorithmization as the main part of the architecture of the fourth industrial revolution, combined with the identification of patterns, trends and prospects of the information society development from the perspectives of different branches of law providing effective functioning of the statutory concepts, security and methods of protection of participants in new social relations. The characteristic features inherent in all technologies of industry 4.0, without exception, determine their complex impact on modern social development, which, of course, should be accompanied by the formation of new social institutions and regulatory mechanisms that ensure them. In the dynamics of public relations development in industry 4.0, the emergence of various failures of different nature and character is inevitable, which, in turn, can adversely affect the rights and obligations of entities whose economic activities are directly related to the technologies of industry 4.0. In this regard, the next issue of the journal “Legal Concept = Legal paradigm” is aimed at solving the problem of improving the foundations of legal regulation of economic entities’ activity in the period of neo-industrialization. The emergence of new social relations, which by their nature inevitably give rise to conflicts, also needs fundamentally new approaches to their settlement, in particular, through the creation of ways to protect the rights of subjects based on the technologies of industry 4.0. At the same time, in order to prevent possible conflicts and violations of the rights of economic entities, it is necessary to create the appropriate preventive legal mechanisms. This project aims to eliminate the existing loopholes, both in the legal regulation and in the theoretical and legal understanding of the transformation processes of public relations in the conditions of the technological revolution and industry 4.0. The problem to be solved by the project is of complex cross-sectoral nature within the legal sciences, which has led to the determination and identification of potential risks for economic entities involved in the implementation and use of industry 4.0 technologies from the perspective of different branches of law. A comprehensive cross-sectoral approach has allowed to analyze the legal development specifics in the conditions of industry 4.0 and to identify positive and negative factors of the fourth industrial revolution, affecting the modernization of preventive mechanisms and legal remedies of economic entities in the new economic conditions, to identify legal ways and means of this modernization and formulate specific proposals to improve the current legislation.

Definition Of

The author considers the essence of the establishment of legal rules as the will of the State that forms the structure of social relations. Based on an instrumental approach, the author examines the establishment of legal rules and the rules of law in their interaction with social activity, which allows subjects to “find themselves” in the legal system. Thus, the structures of public authorities, establishments and enterprises are created, their goals and order of activities are determined, as well as the competence and powers of officials, and legal statuses are secured; consequently, the participants, objects, terms of starting, changing and terminating legal relations concerning society are determined, too. Hence, the law influences the content of social relations, which is activity. In general, the results of the activities of individual and collective subjects of law reflect social relations, and social relations need legal regulation. At the same time, social relations may appear not only as activity, they may also appear in a passive form as legal statuses, social institutions. They are also regulated through legal rules, and in that case legal influence is carried out through the establishment of legal rules. It is able to predict the legal forms of subject activities through the establishment of legal rules. The author puts forward a legal definition of the establishment of legal rules as a purposeful influence on public relations, which is to regulate by means of legal rules. Distinctions of legal regulation from legal influence are established. The legal means expressing external factors in reference to the subject’s will correspond to the establishment of legal rules. However, by analyzing a list of normative acts we can conclude that legal means should be established more logically. It is necessary to consider the dialectics of relationships between purpose and means in the field of rulemaking processes, since dialectics is of a two-way determinative nature.

Today, humanity is faced with a new great challenge, whose large-scale consequences are already being observed in all spheres of life of modern society. Such serious events may include an outbreak of the COVID-19 declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization. The specific nature of the spread of the new pandemic has predetermined the introduction of a number of restrictive and preventive measures aimed at reducing the risk of infecting the population. However, both the COVID-19 pandemic and the measures taken to combat it have become the catalysts for significant structural changes of a social, environmental and economic nature, including in the labor markets. In order to level out negative processes that are objectively developing in the labor markets, as well as potential socio-economic risks and their consequences, to ensure the preservation of a decent standard of living for the unemployed, to support and adapt to new working conditions, including through the use of digital computer technologies, which can also be used to combat epidemics in the future, it is necessary to develop the legal support which is adequate to these circumstances. In this regard, the prepared issue of the journal “Legal Concept = Pravovaya Paradigma” “The legal methods to reduce the negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic” seeks to develop an integrated strategic concept of the formation of the legal mechanisms for regulating social, environmental and economic activities, given the complex epidemiological situation, the specific ways and means of regulating social relationships, including using digital information and the communication technologies in the period of the epidemic and post-coronavirus stage of social rehabilitation. The methodological framework for the complex project is a system approach, which is observed in the papers presented in the main topic of the issue and implemented by using a number of interrelated methods, namely: analysis, synthesis, system-element, systemstructural, system-functional, system-communication, system-integrative, and system-historical methods. The general scientific methods used in the project can be divided into 3 groups. The group of theoretical methods includes the method of rising from the abstract to the concrete, hypothetical-deductive, axiomatic, and formalization methods for building the models of social relations that have undergone transformation against the background of the pandemic. The group of empirical methods includes data collection, comparison, description, measurement, and evaluation of the effects of the pandemic. The group of general logical methods includes abstraction, generalization, idealization, induction, analogy, modeling, probabilistic and statistical methods, which allow us to achieve consistent scientific conclusions in exact accordance with the project objectives. As part of the specific scientific legal methods, the project uses a dogmatic, legal and technical methods of interpretation of law, statelegal modeling, and comparative legal method, which allow us to form a scientifically based structure of mechanisms for the legal regulation of public relations in both the pandemic and post-coronavirus period.

The paper examines crowdfunding, crowdinvesting as modern forms of investing in various projects in the context of the emergence of the “fourth industrial revolution”, taking into account the priorities of the international integration of the Russian Federation (BRICS, EAEU). The author assesses the traditional system of exercising the rights and legitimate interests of participants in modern forms of investment for compliance with new needs under the introduction of innovative management technologies. The gaps in the legal regulation of the institution of crowdfunding in Russia, including: legal uncertainty in the qualification of an agreement concluded on an investment platform; lack of fixed legal guarantees for participants in investment projects, etc., have been identified. Given the processes of transformation of public relations under Industry 4.0, the author identifies ways to eliminate gaps both in legal regulation and in theoretical and legal aspects. According to the author, such changes are intended to prevent violations of the rights of business entities in the context of Industry 4.0. and reflect the domestic legal policy in relation to alternative forms of financing innovative projects based on digital technologies by business entities of the countries participating in integration associations with the participation of the Russian Federation.

The rapid pace of technological developments played a key role in the previous industrial revolutions. However, the fourth industrial revolution (Industry 4.0) and its embedded technology diffusion progress is expected to grow exponentially in terms of technical change and socioeconomic impact. Therefore, coping with such transformation require a holistic approach that encompasses innovative and sustainable system solutions and not just technological ones. In this article, we propose a framework that can facilitate the interaction between technological and social innovation to continuously come up with proactive, and hence timely, sustainable strategies. These strategies can leverage economic rewards, enrich society at large, and protect the environment. The new forthcoming opportunities that will be generated through the next industrial wave are gigantic at all levels. However, the readiness for such revolutionary conversion require coupling the forces of technological innovation and social innovation under the sustainability umbrella.

Growing consumerism and population worldwide raises concerns about society’s sustainability aspirations. This has led to calls for concerted efforts to shift from the linear economy to a circular economy (CE), which are gaining momentum globally. CE approaches lead to a zero-waste scenario of economic growth and sustainable development. These approaches are based on semi-scientific and empirical concepts with technologies enabling 3Rs (reduce, reuse, recycle) and 6Rs (reuse, recycle, redesign, remanufacture, reduce, recover). Studies estimate that the transition to a CE would save the world in excess of a trillion dollars annually while creating new jobs, business opportunities and economic growth. The emerging industrial revolution will enhance the symbiotic pursuit of new technologies and CE to transform extant production systems and business models for sustainability. This article examines the trends, availability and readiness of fourth industrial revolution (4IR or industry 4.0) technologies (for example, Internet of Things [IoT], artificial intelligence [AI] and nanotechnology) to support and promote CE transitions within the higher education institutional context. Furthermore, it elucidates the role of universities as living laboratories for experimenting the utility of industry 4.0 technologies in driving the shift towards CE futures. The article concludes that universities should play a pivotal role in engendering CE transitions.

The article examines the place of Natural Resource Law and post-resource branches of law in the legal system, proposes a hierarchy of these branches and outlines the relationship between the subjects of natural resource and post-resource relations. The subject of legal regulation of Natural Resource Law is defined as qualitatively homogeneous natural resource relations, consisting of the use and reproduction of natural resources – a legally defined part of the environment that have signs of natural origin and are in ecological relationship with the environment and with each other, can be used as a source of meeting human needs. All natural resources, as well as the relationship to their use and reproduction, are closely linked. This connection will always be inseparable and reciprocal. It is established that in the system of Natural Resource Law public relations regarding the use and reproduction of certain natural resources are in fact its subsectors and provide a differentiated approach to the environmentally sound use of each of the relevant natural resources. Natural Resource Law is not a conglomeration of land, water, forest and subsoil law, but their qualitative unity based on a single nature, factors of development and the internal structure of social relations. It is concluded that neither the long history of legislation, nor a significant amount of regulations that are sources of post-resource industries, are grounds for denying the inseparable and mutual connection of post-resource branches of law with each other and with Natural Resource Law and the objective need for separation independent branch of Natural Resource Law.

This article examines the issues of differentiation of legislative and subordinate regulation of public relations. It is noted that in the process of law-making activities, including the legislative process, practical questions often arise about the competence of various state bodies to establish various legal norms and rules. These issues are related to the need to establish a clear legal meaning of the constitutional norms devoted to the definition of the subject of regulation of laws. In particular, there is a need to clarify the provisions of paragraph 3 of Article 61 of the Constitution of the Republic of Kazakhstan in terms of the concepts "the most important public relations", "all other relations", "subsidiary legislation", as well as to establish the relationship between these concepts. Interpretation is also required by the provisions of p. 4 of Article 61 of the Constitution in terms of clarifying the question of whether the conclusion follows from mentioned provisions that all possible social relations in the Republic of Kazakhstan are subject to legal regulation, including those that are subject to other social and technical regulators (morality, national, business and professional traditions and customs, religion, standards, technical regulations, etc.). Answering the questions raised, the author emphasizes that the law and bylaws, as a rule, constitute a single system of legislation, performing the functions of primary and secondary acts. However, the secondary nature of subsidiary legislation does not mean that they regulate "unimportant" public relations. The law is essentially aimed at regulating all important social relations.

This paper is a comprehensive study of the problems of criminal law as a remedy for human rights and freedoms in the modern world. The relevance of this subject lies in the systematic violations of constitutional human rights and freedoms and the inaction of the criminal law in such cases. Nowadays, the criminal law as a remedy for human rights and freedoms in national and international law is described by imperfection in its adaptation to rapidly changing social relations, which, accordingly, leads to problems in their legal protection. There are various reasons for this in the legal sphere, such as gaps in the legal provisions, conflicts of legal regulation and inconsistency of the rules of legislation with existing public relations in the state. All of the above determines the relevance of the subject matter of this study. Thus, the purpose of this study was a comprehensive analysis of theoretical and applied issues relating to the remedies for human rights and legitimate interests against socially dangerous encroachments, and the formulation of scientifically sound proposals for improving the current legislation of Ukraine and the practice of its application in this area. Ultimately, this study identified the legal characteristics of human rights and freedoms at both the national and international levels. The remedies for rights were demonstrated through the lens of criminal law. In addition, the study analysed the forms of implementation of international practice in the national legislation of Ukraine as a remedy for human rights and freedoms in the modern world. The significance of the results of this study was expressed in the further research of related subjects concerning this issue, namely the history of the development of EU criminal law standards and the historical establishment of the concept of human and citizen rights and legitimate interests. Furthermore, the materials of this study can be used in the preparation of educational materials, methodological recommendations, as well as training in various fields of legal science. This, in turn, will allow properly using the criminal law protection of human rights and freedoms without violations on the part of criminal justice bodies

The paper is positioned in the emerging debate on the technological change brought about by the Fourth Industrial Revolution, often referred to as Industry 4.0. Our analysis is at the local, sub-national level. The aim is to explore what drivers and barriers local productive systems might face when seeking to embark on transitions that reconcile smart, equitable, and sustainable priorities, under enhanced models called Industry 4.0+. The novelty of the paper is to develop such models by designing a conceptual framework that juxtaposes the drivers and the barriers of sustainability transitions with local productive systems. This novel framework suggests possible pathways that local productive systems can initiate to achieve more equitable and green outcomes for their economy and society by directing the development of digital-related solutions.

Radical changes resulting from the Fourth Industrial Revolution strongly affect industrialized European countries. In particular, due to the new technologies that are characteristic of Industry 4.0, it will be essential for companies to make the necessary changes and achieve competitiveness through the implementation of these technologies. In order for companies to be able to make radical changes and innovations, they need to secure all the supporting areas in their organization. This research paper is focused on comparison of companies from Slovakia, Czech Republic, Austria, Germany and Switzerland in the context of readiness for Industry 4.0. This research was part of a research project, while data were collected in the period of 2015–2016. We have analysed companies from selected countries based on 7 areas which are closely interconnected with the business transformation and technology transformation coming from Industry 4.0. The main analysed questions focused on areas such as employee education and training, organizational culture, strategy, or organizational processes, that will be most affected by radical changes in the environment. Research has highlighted the differences between countries as a result of long-standing cultural differences, but at the same time identified the unified influence of the ongoing global debate on the need for technological innovation. With Slovak and Czech companies being below stronger innovators in the maturity of education systems, we strongly advise considering partnering in education which can bring valuable information to businesses that want to take on the wave of innovation.
