The relevance of the study is confirmed mainly by the high level of responsibility that is assigned to the institutions under consideration in order to ensure their social order in conditions of difficult to predict world development. Thus, socio-philosophical analysis seems to be extremely necessary when drawing the contours of the general planetary situation. The subject of this research is the substantiation of the role of political and legal institutions as drivers of the modern evolutionary development of world societies. The object of the research is modern political and legal institutions. The purpose of the study is to identify the reasons for the need for political and legal institutional transformations, and clarify the importance of the institutions under consideration for evolutionary version of social development. To achieve this goal, we use our own synthetic methodology, which includes philosophical, general scientific and interdisciplinary methods, as well as a world-system approach.
