Legal Tradition as a Subject and Method of Comparative Law of the BRICS Countries

Abstract

This article is a review on the two-volume book called “Comparative History of Foreign Law” written by Dmitry Poldnikov, the Professor of the Theory of Law and Comparative Law Department at MGIMO University of Russia. The authors of this review are convinced that the book is a new word in Russian legal-historical editions because it presents an unconventional analysis of the development of state and legal systems of various jurisdictions through the prism of legal values, legal traditions and legal diversity.
