Features of the Formation of Legal Awareness and Legal Culture of Citizens in Modern Conditions of Multipolarity

The article presents the main results of the study of modern problematic issues related to the identified differences that arise in the presence of an obvious interdependence of legal culture and legal awareness, as closely related political and legal concepts and phenomena. The features of the modern conceptual approach to the formation of legal awareness and the education of legal culture in the conditions of emerging multipolarity are identified and summarized. Logical, comparative, empirical, analytical, historical-legal, descriptive and others were used as the main methods of cognition during the research. The scientific novelty of the study was formed by the conclusions, according to which, in particular, firstly, there is a need to separate the concepts of (1) individual legal awareness, (2) public legal awareness and (3) legal culture; secondly, in the modern conditions of the multipolar world, the formation of legal awareness takes place in a multi-level environment and the changes taking place in the public consciousness are most adapted for the subsequent modification of the social structure in the innovative geostrategy and, thirdly, the study of legal awareness is actually inseparable from the study of formal or informal social organizations (including civil society institutions) and other forces, managers of the legal institutional system (legal infrastructure) and competing numerous forms of social control.
