These include assumptions about the special nature of reproduction and the repeatability of the practice of borrowing in law, its reflection of the objective process of the evolution of law; the complexity of the phenomenon of legal borrowing and the heterogeneity of their manifestations; the scientific validity of their differentiation into voluntary and imposed, correct and incorrect, direct and reverse (return); the possibility of practical borrowing of technologies of legal transformations — reforms and modernizations; the need to improve mechanisms for protecting the national legal order from the expansion of foreign legal models. Attention is drawn to the ideological potential of the topic under consideration and the fundamental importance of legal ideology for the domestic legal system.
