The article is devoted to the analysis of the transformation of the external functions of the state in the post-bipolar period, characterized by changes in the structure of international relations following the end of the Cold War. The main directions of the evolution of the state’s external functions are examined in the context of globalization, increasing international interdependence, and the growing role of international organizations and international law. Special attention is paid to the expansion of the content of external functions through economic, humanitarian, environmental, and informational dimensions, as well as to changes in the balance between military power and diplomatic-legal mechanisms of influence. The study identifies the key factors that have influenced the transformation of the state’s external functions and analyzes contemporary trends in their implementation in a multipolar world. The conclusions obtained can be used for the theoretical understanding of modern foreign policy processes and for further research in the field of the theory of state and law.
