Types of preferential legal regimes and their characteristics

In the content of the work, the author analyzed the phenomenon of legal privileges through the prism of their systemic characteristics. The relevance of the research topic and the importance of modernizing the specific distinction of preferential legal regimes are emphasized. The cognitive features of the topic of this article are established. The work emphasizes that the relevance of scientific research on preferential legal regimes, especially their varieties as a complex systemic phenomenon, in addition to being due to the importance of individualizing legal regulation, is also determined by the need to link the efficiency of resource use and stimulate the development of relevant spheres of social relations. Preferential legal regimes can be an important tool for supporting and developing certain sectors of the economy, regions or social groups. Scientific research of these regimes allows us to assess how effectively they contribute to the development of small businesses, stimulate investments in infrastructure or provide support for socially vulnerable categories of citizens. This is especially relevant in conditions of economic crises, instability or the need for rapid development of individual industries. Based on the analysis of doctrinal approaches to understanding the varieties of legal regimes and preferential legal regimes, a high level of debate and ambiguity of the views of scientists was noted. This makes it advisable to develop a single doctrinal approach to their classification and characteristics of the corresponding varieties. It is emphasized that the application of classification in the process of conducting scientific research requires comprehensive consideration of the features of preferential legal regimes and their generalization according to appropriate criteria, which will allow covering various aspects of their manifestation. Analysis of the provisions of the current legislation of Ukraine allowed us to propose the following classification criteria: 1) the sphere of legal regulation (constitutional, administrative, civil, labor preferential legal regimes); 2) the subjects to which the preferential legal regime applies (preferential legal regimes for individuals and legal entities); 3) the territory of distribution (nationwide, regional (local) preferential legal regimes); 4) content (personal and property preferential legal regimes). It is concluded that in general, scientific research on preferential legal regimes is important for the development of the legal system, ensuring sustainable economic growth, social stability and the integration of national legal systems into the global context.
