BRICS Law Journal

Aims & Scope

The BRICS is an acronym for an association of Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa, evolved from mere investment lingo to an organized network, in the process assuming a greater geopolitical role aimed at institutional reforms that shift global power.

All five countries adhere to principles of inclusive macroeconomic and social policies and are focusing on responsible national growth strategies.

The BRICS Law Journal is a platform for relevant comparative research and legal development not only in and between the BRICS countries themselves but also between those countries and others.

The journal is an open forum for legal scholars and practitioners to reflect on issues that are relevant to the BRICS and internationally significant.

Prospective authors who are involved in relevant legal research, legal writing and legal development are, therefore, the main source of potential contributions.
