Law and Development Review Special Issue on Brazil and India

The Law and Development Review, which I previously announced, has produced its second Special Issue (2010): New Voices from Emerging Powers - Brazil and India. To date, since the Inaugural Issue in 2008, there is Volume 1 (2008), Volume 2 (2009) and Volume 3 (2010) No. 1, No. 2 being this Special Issue. You can access all these past issues on the Berkeley Electornic Press Website. You'll need a subscription to read the articles online, or you can read it for free either at a library that has a subscription, (UPDATED 6/6/2009) or via free guest pass if you are a nonprofit or an academic after filling out a form.
