The Indian Journal of International Economic Law invites submissions for the upcoming Volume 15 of its Journal.
About IJIEL
The IJIEL Editorial Board invites original, unpublished manuscripts for consideration for the upcoming Volume 15 of the Journal. The Indian Journal of International Economic Law is a student led, Faculty Board edited, peer-reviewed law journal published annually by the National Law School of India University, Bangalore (NLSIU) under the patronage of the Indian government-sponsored chair on WTO Law.
The Journal encourages scholarship in the niche but rapidly emerging and dynamic fields of international economic law, in recognition of the staggering importance of cross-border trade, investment and commerce in the world today.
The mission of IJIEL is to provide a forum that encourages thoughtful scholastic attention to international economic law in developing countries. An emphasis on the enhancement of legal knowledge, critical awareness and research skills in the field of international economic law, and an integrated interdisciplinary approach to global economic governance informed by law, political science, sociology and economics, informs the philosophy and practice of IJIEL.
In keeping with this objective, past issues of the IJIEL have featured contributions by luminaries in this field such as Katharina Pistor, Raj Bhala, Yogesh Pai, Fiona Smith, Faizel Ismail, Enrico Baffi, Lotta Viikari, Michelle Sanson, Jason R. Bonin, Dr. Rafael Arcas and Colin Picker. We have also featured forewords by distinguished scholars such as Prof. Arvind Subramaniam, Mr. Shashi Tharoor, Prof. Jagdish Bhagwati, and Prof. Stephan Hobe. Further, we are committed to being open-access and our journal is also indexed on Manupatra, SCC, and HeinOnline.
