Features of understanding social relations in modern law: theoretical, administrative, civil legal regulation

The purpose of the research was to redefine the concept of social relations from the point of view of its theoretical, administrative and civil aspects of legal regulation, considering, for this purpose, various scientific contributions. The main content is based on the meaning of the concepts of “public relations” and “social relations” as political and legal entities with different paradigmatic essence. The methodological basis of the research was constituted by the comparative-legal and systemic analysis, the formal-legal method, the method of interpretation, hermeneutics and the methods of analysis and synthesis. By way of conclusion the authors have established that the term “public relations” characterizes relations between people, which provide for the unconditional priority of the economy over other spheres of society (political, ideological, cultural), material and symbolic spaces where there is no place for a person with his values, rights and freedoms. At least, the latter do not acquire due regulatory support.
