OUR PARTNERSHIP
The AIDC-IACL Blog has entered a new partnership with the journal World Comparative Law / VRÜ. The main aspect of the partnership will be the journal editors' selection of one article from each of the Journal's quarterly editions to be converted to a blog post and featured on the Blog. Other collaborations may also be pursued under the partnership, by mutual agreement.
THE WCL/VRÜ JOURNAL IN BRIEF
World Comparative Law / VRÜ analyses developments in constitutional and public law in states and regions outside Europe and North America (in what used be called the ‘Third World’) as well as their regional and international integration. Founded in 1968 and inspired by the ideals of ‘decolonization’ and fair cooperation, the Journal also has a special interest in the entanglements between ‘Global South’ and ‘Global North’, including the presence of the ‘South in the North’. Looking beyond the surface of globalization, World Comparative Law / VRU promotes scholarship that uncovers the particularities of legal configurations as well as their interdependencies in an interconnected world.
The journal seeks to publish theoretically and historically informed studies of law in context, but is equally open to contributions from social sciences and from practitioners. It has a particular interest in analyses that compare several legal orders but is equally attentive to studies in international law and its impact on Asia, Africa and Latin America as well as comparative international law.
World Comparative Law / VRÜ addresses authors and readers on all world regions and aims to serve as a forum of mutual exchange. It publishes research articles, shorter reports about current events or conferences as well as book reviews. As a special service, each issue of World Comparative Law / VRÜ contains a select bibliography of relevant publications from around the world, compiled in cooperation with the Leibniz-Institute for Global and Regional Studies in Hamburg (GIGA).
All manuscripts undergo a double-blind peer-review. The journal is published quarterly and welcomes contributions in English, and exceptionally in German, Spanish and French.
