Call for Submissions: Space Law and International Economic Law

The Indian Journal of International Economic Law has issued a call for submissions for a special issue on "Space Law and International Economic Law." Here's the call (courtesy of Res Communis):

IJIEL is a peer-reviewed journal produced by the National Law School of India University (NLSIU), Bangalore, funded by the Indian government sponsored chair on WTO law at NLSIU. The mandate of the journal encompasses all aspects of international economic law, especially from a developing country perspective. Our Editorial Board includes renowned and respected academics such as Prof. Andrew Guzman, Ms. Jayashree Watal and Prof. Yuji Iwasawa. Prof. Jagdish Bhagwati wrote the foreword for our first issue. We have just published our second issue in October 2009.

As a young journal we try to focus on new, contemporary and interesting areas and issues. One such area is the interface between international economic law and space law, particularly topics such as the umbrella of common benefit and interest which covers international trade in space products and information, or the international financial implications of multilateral space operations.

Submissions are sought in three categories: long Articles of 10,000-12,000 words, short articles of 5,000-8,000 words and notes or comments of 2,000-4,000 words. The deadline for submissions is May 31, 2010. The issue will be published by the end of August, 2010. Citations should conform to the Bluebook system.
