The Brics Legal Cooperation and Perspectives

This book touches on a wide range of legal issues that the BRICS countries or the BRICS legal scholars particularly care about. Given the intensified geo-political competition, it is important for government officials and legal scholars around the word understand not only their own legal conceptions, but also those legal positions owned by the others, so as to construct an inclusive legal order that is acceptable to the largest majority of the global population. This book provides an insightful legal perspective of the BRICS countries and scholars, making up for the lack of English literature on the legal research of the BRICS.
