"World Comparative Law / VRU" 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 / VRU" 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.

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.

About the Journal

The Zeitschrift für Didaktik der Rechtswissenschaft is a journalistic forum for all aspects of the academic discourse about the teaching and learning of the law and legal studies. It opens and consolidates the perspective of research with regard to teaching and thus contributes new knowledge to the debate about legal studies and university didactics. ZDRW thus forges links between general university didactics, specialized legal didactics and legal studies. Horizons are thus broadened on both sides and different perspectives enabled with regard to teaching and learning the law. This signifies an interdisciplinary approach since in addition to legal studies, other disciplines are called on to contribute their own knowledge on teaching and learning processes. These include general higher education didactics, psychology, neurosciences and educational science, sociology and other specialized higher education didactics able to contribute towards specialized teaching in legal studies. ZDRW addresses all phases and aspects of legal education, providing general assistance for the improvement of both teaching and learning. To this end, apart from academic articles, a practical teaching forum is planned which will present ideas and discussions of detailed concepts for events and courses of study as well as individual didactical methods, thus providing impulses and points of connection for the individual teaching activities of our readers at various levels.

At a time when legislation is becoming increasingly hectic in response to individual cases and losing sight of the legal system as a whole, in which its so-called ‘basic subjects’ are often referred to in soapbox speeches but are becoming increasingly marginalised in university education, addressing exactly these fundamental issues is especially important. This is the quintessential task of the philosophy of law, which is just as much a sub-discipline of practical philosophy as it is of jurisprudence. In this sense, the journal ‘Rechtsphilosophie–Zeitschrift für Grundlagen der Rechts’ provides a forum for interdisciplinary exchange on the theoretical, methodological and political foundations of the law.
