Navigating the Murky Waters of Economic Treaties in International Trade

The Board of Editors of Trade, Law and Development is pleased to invite original, unpublished manuscripts for publication in the Winter ’24 Special Issue of the Journal (Vol. 16, No. 1) in the form of ‘Articles’, ‘Notes’, ‘Comments’ and ‘Book Reviews’.

About the Theme

Founded in 2009, the philosophy of Trade, Law and Development (TL&D) has been to generate and sustain a constructive and democratic debate on emergent issues in international economic law and to serve as a forum for the discussion and distribution of ideas.

 

Towards these ends, the Journal has published works by noted scholars such as the WTO DDG Yonov F. Agah, Dr. (Prof.) Ernst Ulrich Petersmann, Prof. Christian Häberli, Prof. Petros Mavroidis, Prof. Mitsuo Matsuhita, Prof. Raj Bhala, Prof. Joel Trachtman, Dr. (Prof.) Gabrielle Marceau, Prof. Simon Lester, Prof. Bryan Mercurio, and Prof. M. Sornarajah, among others. TL&D also has the distinction of being ranked the best journal in India across all fields of law for seven consecutive years by Washington and Lee University, School of Law.

 

Pursuant to this philosophy, the Board of Editors of Trade, Law and Development is pleased to announce “Navigating the Murky Waters of Economic Treaties in International Trade” as the theme for its next Special Issue (Vol. 16, No. 1).

While the theme is broad enough to cover a wide range of issues, an indicative list of specific areas is as follows:

​

These sub-issues are not exhaustive, and the journal is open to receiving submissions on all aspects related to the theme relating to PTAs and their impact both on the international trade regime and the global trading system.

​

The deadline for submitting manuscripts has been extended to November 16, 2024. Manuscripts received on the theme will be reviewed for publication in the Winter ’24 issue.
