Abstract

This article presents a comprehensive study of International Construction Contract Law (ICCL) as a key legal framework for transnational construction projects. The study examines the object, subject, methodology, and functions of ICCL through the lens of international legal sciences. Special attention is given to the role of the International Federation of Consulting Engineers (FIDIC) standards in regulating legal relationships among construction project participants from various jurisdictions. In the context of a multipolar world, the focus is on the necessity of harmonizing legal norms and protecting Russia’s national interests. The objective of the work is to identify the main aspects of legal regulation that influence the stability and predictability of international construction projects, as well as to develop recommendations for integrating FIDIC standards into Russian legislation. Comparative legal approach was employed, analyzing international contractual standards and general methodological principles of international legal sciences. Legislation and doctrinal sources reflecting the specifics of legal coordination in the construction sector were analyzed. The scientific novelty of this work lies in the development of an integrated concept of ICCL that considers multilateral engagement and the prioritization of Russia’s national interests in a globally competitive environment. A model for adapting FIDIC standards is proposed, aligning with Russia’s socioeconomic characteristics and legal traditions. It is substantiated that the integration of international standards contributes to reducing the risks of conflicts, enhancing the transparency of project processes, and creating favorable conditions for long-term partnerships, including collaboration within BRICS. The study’s conclusions hold practical significance for improving national legislation and increasing the competitiveness of Russian companies in the international arena.
