Aim & Scope

AIM AND SCOPE
In the 21st Century, Comparative Law is blossoming as globalization ascends the interdependence between legal systems. As Bernhard Grossfeld expressed “A legal order that is not open to dealings beyond its own borders loses its connection to international development, and becomes rigid and sterile”. Hereupon, it must be enunciated that comparative law builds bridges between legal traditions and goes further than only comparing legally binding texts, legislation and cases. It is a dynamic, vital scientific field with transboundary roots investigating cultural, sociological, historical and even anthropological dimensions of legal systems.

If one perceives the world through the glasses of his own legal tradition, he may be falsified on the content and the context of notions belonging to foreign laws. Therefore, the Eurasian Journal of Comparative Law (EAJCL), which will be published by the Private Law Department members of Afyon Kocatepe Faculty of Law, aims to cultivate to the understanding of legal notions in different legal systems, create awareness of comparative law among legal scholars in European and Eurasian Region, neighbouring countries and especially in Turkey. EAJCL’s object involves demonstration of Comparative Law as not only a field of comparison of particular positive law concepts belonging to different foreign laws, but also it’s profound methodological background. At the crossroads of a diversity of legal traditions, EAJCL targets to increase legal interactions between the countries of the European and Eurasian Region and contribute to the development of comparative law theory. 

EAJCL is an open-access international, peer-reviewed journal that will be published twice a year. The language of publication is English. The journal accepts articles in the field of comparative law, especially on the legal systems of the European and Eurasian Region, specific legal problems of the European and Eurasian Region countries and the general theory of comparative law. EAJCL publishes original scientific studies through research articles, short reviews, case reviews, book reviews and translations. The conformity of the original papers subject to publication with the academic criteria is evaluated by two independent reviewers in a two-way blind review system.
