Abstract
The article is of a scientific-research nature and is devoted to the analysis of modern vectors of development of empire as a form of state structure in the conditions of globalization and transformation of political systems. The subject of the study is the empire as a political model and legal form of state structure of a country, which, despite its historical heritage, demonstrates signs of adaptation and rethinking in the modern international context. The article examines the main approaches to the analysis of imperialism and modernization, as well as their connection with contemporary global challenges and digital transformations of society and state institutions. The purpose of the study is to identify conceptual transformations of imperial structures and mechanisms of their functioning in the present. The research was carried out using dialectical, formal-legal, structural-functional, and comparative-legal methods The originality of the study lies in the attempt to carry out a comparative analysis of modern imperial strategies within the international political space. The modern world is rapidly transforming under the influence of digital technologies, globalization and socio-economic changes. So, on the one hand, technological progress promises new opportunities for humanity. On the other hand, there is a threat of the digital environment becoming an instrument of control, repression and neocolonial expansion. The practical value of the study lies in creating an analytical basis for further research into imperial forms of state structure and power, their impact on global security and political and legal stability
