Reviews

'The authors aim is to contribute to the understanding not only of the law's role in the BRICS countries but also of law's constructive role in various frameworks of cooperation at the multilateral or global level. The book illustrates the mission of law and legal frameworks in theory and in practice of BRICS activities and highlights what law means for the BRICS countries' successful cooperation.' Maria Novoselova, BRICS Law Journal 'The book contributes to the general understanding of the BRICS and their role in the global economic governance, introduces the methodological framework for the BRICS-related legal research, and provides a future outlook on BRICS legal co-operation in various areas. It introduces concrete proposals concerning the enhancement of the role of law in BRICS co-operation and their participation in various multilateral co-operation frameworks.' Zhang Han, International Trade Law & Regulation 'This book advocates 'BRICS for bridges not walls' and closes a gap in scholarship and academic debate by providing a (not yet duly considered) legal perspective of BRICS cooperation - one of the many reasons it deserves to be read. This book is a very interesting read, a worthwhile acquisition and a unique reference book for academics, government officials, legal practitioners, researchers and students who work in the area of global governance.' Franziska Sucker, Potchefstroom Electronic Law Journal 'The book is a real treasure that will appeal to many lawyers, including legal scholars and legal practitioners interested in a better understanding and wider knowledge of the legal aspects of the BRICS cooperation.' Mateja Durovic, Chinese Journal of Comparative Law
