The Chinese Journal of Transnational Law (CJTL) is a double-blind peer-reviewed journal that aims to address global challenges from the perspective of transnational law, which is broadly defined to cover international law (public and private), international economic law, comparative law, the interaction between domestic and international law, and any other legal field possessing a cross-border element. It embraces relevant submissions from different cultures and regions and attracts readers from the global, regional and Chinese markets and it is open to not only traditional doctrinal and theoretical legal research on transnational law, but also contextual and inter-disciplinary research.
