CHIEF EDITOR'S INTRODUCTORY NOTE
dmitry maleshin,
Lomonosov Moscow State University (Moscow, russia)
BRiCS, an acronym for an association of Brazil, Russia, india, China and South Africa, has evolved from mere investment lingo to an organised network, in the process assuming a greater geopolitical role aimed at institutional reforms that shift global power. 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.
The BRICS Law Journal is published biannually.
our editorial policy is governed by independent quality control, which is guaranteed by the Editorial Council. We are proud to have eminent scholars in our Editorial Council, which is composed of professors from the BRiCS countries' leading law schools: Pontifical Catholic University of Sao Paulo (Brazil), Lomonosov Moscow State University (Russia), National Law University, Jodhpur (india), Peking University (China), University of Pretoria (South Africa).
First, in view of the goal of our Journal, the law of integration of the BRiCS countries is our priority. We want to improve the scientific research of BRiCS legal regulation.
Second, due to the origin of our Journal, the law of BRiCS countries is important to the Journal. We want BRiCS countries' legal theories, practice and legislative innovations to be widely known in the international academic environment.
Third, we welcome articles on comparative law from other countries. We want to make our Journal a platform for international comparative discussion on different legal subjects, regardless of nationality.
in conclusion, i would like to thank all prominent members of our Editorial Council for joining this promising academic project.
