Annotation: n the proposed article, the author analyzes the problem in the methodological terminology of law concerning such a definition as "Westphalian law and order".

In these conditions, the problem of the formation of a discursive space around the ongoing global changes is not terminological and not definitive, but conceptual, considered in the paradigm of civilizational development. Its solution, according to the author, will give an opportunity to consider the events taking place today in a different range of political practice, will allow answering many acute questions of modern international legal relations.

Staroselet O.S., postgraduate student of the department of criminal law and process of PetrSU, opklex@mail.ru

Abstract. The article presents an analysis of the foreign criminal legislation of the countries of the Romano-Germanic legal family, which establishes liability for deliberate and fictitious bankruptcy. The author took such countries as Germany, France, Spain and Sweden as examples. A study of foreign legislation has shown that the criminal law norms governing liability for criminal bankruptcy, with an obvious variety of approaches and various legal techniques, for the most part reflect similar actions of subjects recognized as criminal. The main identified trends in the development of the institution of criminal bankruptcy are defined as the blurring of the legal distinction between intentional and reckless bankruptcy, which is expressed through negligence of actions, entailing the onset of a critical financial situation at the enterprise, a formal approach to determining the composition of intentional bankruptcy, as well as the lack of clear criteria that determine the subject of the crime.

Keywords: foreign legislation, criminal law, intentional bankruptcy, corpus delicti, the subject of the crime, guilt, punishment.
