Since the 1970s, there has been a phenomenon of transforming the paradigm of regulating legal relations, consisting of shift from a hierarchical to a network model of normative coordination inspired by the idea of governance. Network (heterarchy) is a governance mechanism that operates based on soft regulatory coordination standards. The idea of good governance justifies participatory public management based on the axiology of the network state. It promotes the socialization of the sector management process by including entities from outside the public authority system to law-making processes and establishing and implementing public policies, including the requirements of legal policies. Law science has observed that today's system of state law in the sense of Hans Kelsen loses the features of a pyramidal structure and takes the form of heterarchy - a dense network of connections between different normative systems. The phenomenon of network law and network regulation was described in the 1980s and 1990s by François Ost and Michel van de Kerchove as part of the dialectic theory of law. In their view, in the face of the crisis of the positivist (etatist) paradigm of law, a competitive paradigm emerges in the light of which the law takes the form of a network. According to some researchers, the 21st century is an epoch of transformation of the paradigm of law. The main aim of this paper is to verify the hypothesis that according to good governance concept it is possible to fully understand the essence and role of soft law instruments in the sphere of normative coordination of modern legal relations.
