Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

The paper discusses the impact of the current law of the Astana International Financial Center on the development of the system of sources of law in the Republic of Kazakhstan. It is noted that over the five years of the functioning of the AIFC jurisdiction, the legal system of Kazakhstan has included elements atypical for the existing system of sources of national law, allowing the use of foreign judicial practice, international standards and ways of interpreting legal norms in a foreign language. The lack of a doctrinal understanding of this process, and sometimes ignoring the trends in the development of the new AIFC jurisdiction in the legal community, leads to the formation of parallel law and order in terms of sectoral regulation, contradictions between which will only increase over time. The author proposes to investigate and analyze the differences between the sources of AIFC Law in the context of sources of national law, and on the basis of this to harmonize existing approaches.
