Abstract
The paper analyses the role of the BRICS Countries, the New Leading Powers on the global scenario. The BRICS Countries are not a supranational legal order, nor an international organisation or a simple interlocutory summit. They can be described as a 'legal network' able to produce legal flow of policy transfer and constitutional borrowing. As an international 'atypical' subject, as a 'soft', 'fragmentable' model, they represent an alternative to the imitation of the mono continental and multilevel 'hard' EU regional structure and contribute to the 'fragmentation' of international law and European law itself. Furthermore, as a knowledge producer, the BRICS phenomenon it is creating new parameters, new bonds, new opportunities, strongly affected by the 'scale of values' of each single country.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
