Guest Editor

The content of each issue of Revista IUS explores a thematic axis developed via theoretical and empirical contributions from within the legal and social sciences.

The topics are defined based on the contemporary agenda of problems / topics relevant to Ibero America, as well as their academic relevance to discussion within the international research circuit.

The selection of the thematic axes is proposed by the Editorial Board, while their viability is evaluated by the International Scientific Committee, which is responsible for guaranteeing the scientific relevance of said selection.
