This issue of Law, Democracy and Development introduces a number of exciting changes and developments: Its status has been elevated to that of official journal of the Faculty of Law at the University of the Western Cape. Its mission has been broadened to include international, continental and regional developments.

This extended mission, which has been made possible by the support provided by the Friedrich Ebert Stifftung, is reflected in our adapted language policy to include French as a working language.
