EJIL and JIEL have issued a Call for Papers for a Joint Symposium on Great Power Competition: What Difference Does it Make to International Law?
This EJIL/JIEL joint symposium explores the different and complex ways in which international law is changing as the result of Asia’s economic rise, Russia’s violent resurgence, Europe’s relative decline and the China-US contest for technological and military supremacy. Great Power Competition has once again become a feature of modern international relations grounded in a more traditional power politics approach and a contest for supremacy among the key players of the international system. This paytm database contest has resulted in different ways to exercise authority, bolstering new geopolitical alliances, and the diversification of military and economic strategies. However, how this new reality is transforming the use, abuse and misuse of different areas of international law implicated—from the law of the sea, to IHL, from international economic law to space law—remains relatively underexplored and undertheorized.
The Symposium will be published in EJIL and JIEL simultaneously; the editors will decide which article will appear in which journal. The peer review process will be conducted by both journals together.
The word limit of articles is between 10000 to 15000 words, including footnotes.
