About IJIEL
IJIEL is an annual journal that is managed, edited and produced by students of the National Law School of India University (NLSIU), Bangalore – India’s premier law school. This refereed journal focuses on therecognition of the staggering impact of WTO and international trade andcommerce particularly in developing countries. That is not to say, however, that we restrict ourselves to WTO law and international trade law. Our mandate extends to all academic scholarship relevant to International Economic Law, including international finance and taxation, cross-border regulatory reform in light of the credit crisis, questions concerning the linkages between trade, human rights and the environment, international competition law, economic aspects of IP rights and TRIPS, etc. We are particularly interested in law and economics analyses of the all the subject areas within our mandate. We pride ourselves on being one of the few legal journals which focuses on these issues from a developing country perspective.
The first two issue have been a tremendous success in terms of the breadth and quality of the submissions that we have received and been privileged to publish. We have been fortunate to receive the enthusiastic support of stalwarts in the field of International Economic Law. Professor Jagdish Bhagwati has written the foreword for our first issue. The foreword for our second issue has been written by Mr. Arvind Subramaniam from the Peterson Institute. Professor Andrew T. Guzman,Ms. Jayashree Watal and Professor Yuji Iwasawaare members of thejournal's editorial board. Recently, we have also received the patronageof the WTO Chair established in NLSIU by the Ministry of Commerce of the Government of India.
Our circulation policy has targeted leading international law firms such as AllenOvery, Clifford Chance, Linklaters and Norton Rose, legal practioners, universities, academic research centres and government bodies in India and abroad, providing us with enormous academic and geographical reach.
We are also in the process of negotiating a tie up with the Social Science Research Network (SSRN) to enable us to further extend our circulation.
