From Indigenous private property to full dispossession – the peculiar case of Sápmi Comparative Legal History (IF 0.6) Pub Date : 2023-05-10 Rauna Kuokkanen

During the colonial period, legal professionals from Mexico and Cuba maintained a closed relationship.

Coke’s Prohibitions del Roy in a European perspective Comparative Legal History (IF 0.6) Pub Date : 2022-04-13 Gustaaf van Nifterik

A closer look from a European position reveals another picture, however. Compared with discussions by his (near) contemporaries Fernando Vázquez de Menchaca, Jean Bodin
