We will develop a truly international community of legal scholars where linguistic and cultural barriers are overcome and legal issues are finally discussed outside of the narrow limits imposed by positivism, parochialism, ethnocentrism, imperialism and chauvinism in the law. Submission is welcome from all over the world and particularly encouraged from the Global South.

Crisis, Managerialism and the Consolidation of a Soft Migration Governance: Insights from Tunisia

8. Mai 2026

Martino Reviglio

PDF downloaden

European migration governance has become structured around crisis-driven managerialism. Focusing on the EU–Tunisia Memorandum of Understanding, this article argues that migration crises legitimise executive-led, efficiency-oriented governance and the increasing use of soft law instruments. It demonstrates how this managerial turn restructures the legal conditions of EU external action by displacing parliamentary oversight, judicial review, and ex ante human rights assessment. Through analysis of the role of Team Europe, the European Parliament’s marginalisation, and the European Ombudsman’s inquiry, the article shows that softification produces a de facto suspension of constitutional guarantees, with structural implications for the EU rule of law.

Cultural Rights: A Historical Appraisal of the Reasons for Their Underdevelopment

25. Februar 2026

Gabriela García Escobar

PDF downloaden

Cultural rights received increasing attention in the 1990s, but still, there is a pending task to implement them fully. This article examines the historical, ideological, and practical factors that have contributed to their underdevelopment. Five reasons are explored: the separation of civil and political rights and economic, social, and cultural rights in two covenants; the new developments in economic and social rights; the risk and fears of cultural relativism in the universality debates; the question and concerns over demands of self-determination; and the lack of awareness of culture’s role in human development.

Conflicts Between Public and Private Enforcers in Class Actions: The Chilean Case

24. Dezember 2025

Agustin Barroilhet, Francisca Barrientos

PDF downloaden

This article studies the conflict between public and private enforcers in Chilean consumer class actions. The paper reviews the history of the class action procedure, the unexpected changes to it introduced by a constitutional challenge, the subsequent increase in private lawsuits, and the ensuing conflict between public and private enforcers. Coordinating class actions’ enforcement is inherently challenging due to their differing funding and varying willingness to settle. As the Chilean case shows, there is no comprehensive catch-all solution to this problem. However, these difficult statutory choices should not hinder consumers’ redress. Hence, the article suggests that Chilean judges should proactively use existing legal provisions regarding the ‘common counsel’ to facilitate settlements, thus avoiding protracted court cases that can last more than a decade.

Does the Word “BRICS” Contain Law? On Legal Hegemons, Aromas of Law and Arbitration Revolution

12. Dezember 2025

Mikhail Galperin

PDF downloaden

This article examines the potential for the BRICS coalition to displace the Anglo-American legal narrative as the global hegemon. To address this task, it critically analyzes the concept of legal hegemony, state practice, and international business customs. The central conclusion is that while BRICS holds the potential for future legal leadership, there are currently no tangible signs that it will supplant the common law tradition developed in the United Kingdom and the United States. However, the analysis suggests that the identity of the adjudicator and the methods of legal interpretation – such as how evidence is assessed and judgments are substantiated – may be more significant than the substantive law applied to a case. The author posits that through autonomous interpretation by arbitrators from the Global South, national legal systems can evolve, gaining new meanings and expanding beyond their original contexts. Analogous to open-source software – a collaboratively developed global public good – BRICS law could potentially evolve into a decentralized, open-source legal system, offering a distinct alternative to a centralized, Imperial legal narrative.
