CALL FOR PAPERS AND PANELS
The Inaugural Conference of the Society of International Economic Law:
New Horizons of International Economic Law
The Inaugural Conference of the Society of International Economic Law (SIEL)
will take place at the Graduate Institute of International Studies in Geneva
from 15-17 July 2008 (www.hei.unige.ch).
About the SIEL
The Society of International Economic Law is a new organization for academics
and academically-minded practitioners and officials in the field of
International Economic Law. The Society will be genuinely global and inclusive
in terms of the expertise and interests of participants, and the many
disciplines encompassed by IEL. Among other objectives, the Society also seeks
to bring together its members in areas of common interest, as well as
supporting academic activities in the field.
For more information about the SIEL, please go to: www.sielnet.org.
Conference Theme
Over the course of the last two decades, the communities of scholars,
practitioners and others active in the area of international economic law have
grown and diversified in ways that few could have predicted. The field of
international economic law now includes a diverse array of participants, is
prominent in numerous areas and addresses new substantive issues. Perhaps
inevitably, the term “international economic law” now defies easy definition –
at once a fully integrated part of public international law and an identifiable
field in its own right, with a broader or narrower scope depending on
perspective.
This conference aims to explore the many different faces of “international
economic law”, in order to reflect critically on its past, present and future
paths. It will seek to explore issues concerning the content of the discipline,
its evolution as a distinct field, and its relation with other fields of study.
Given that the aim of the Society includes fostering research in the area of
IEL and promoting cooperation among all parts within the field, the SIEL
inaugural conference will also be a forum for those inside and outside academia
to share pedagogical and research methods, as well as to explore greater
cooperation among the many different constituencies of the field.
We welcome papers and panels on any topic related to the conference, including:
• the three traditional pillars of “public” IEL: trade, investment, and monetary
policies;
• the relationship between these pillars, and between these pillars and other
branches of law;
• the influence of disciplines such as economics, political economy, and others
on international economic law;
• “comparative” international economic law, focussing on the ways in which
international economic law interacts with laws, institutions and actors at the
domestic level;
• the “geographies” of international economic law, relating to the role of
international economic law in different parts of the world;
• the roles that law and legal practices play within “international economic
governance”;
• methods and trends in the teaching of international economic law, both in
universities and to the broader public;
• interactions between scholars, practitioners, government officials and civil
society groups active in international economic law; and
• topical issues within international economic law.
We are particularly interested in integrating new voices with more established
figures in the field, and welcome works in progress from young or new scholars
reflecting the conference’s broad theme.
Speakers will include (subject to confirmation) Thomas Cottier; Donald McRae;
Ernst-Ulrich Petersmann; Dan Sarooshi; M. Sornarajah; Debra Steger; Joel
Trachtman, and Thomas Wälde.
