Guidelines for Blog Submissions

The mandate of the Indian Journal of International Economic Law has been to augment the discussion on the implications of international economic law for developing countries. We have, over the past few years, published on a variety of areas and featured articles by both students and luminaries in these fields. Our annual issues sought to provide a new perspective on international economic law, and, make the position of developing countries relevant in these cases. In furtherance of this mandate, the Editorial Board is delighted to launch the IJIEL Blog.

1. A submission is welcome as long as it fits within the general mandate of the IJIEL.

2. We invite the following types of contributions from students and scholars alike: 

a. Responses to articles in the print journal or previous articles published on the Blog. 

b. Comments on contemporary legal developments.

c. Articles on topics relating to international economic law. 

d. Book Reviews engaging with recent literary works.

3. Contributions should be mailed only in a soft copy (.doc or .docx format) to ijielblog@nls.ac.in, the subject of the mail being ‘Submission for IJIEL Blog’.

4. All contributions should ordinarily be between 750-1250 words in length.

5. The article/blogpost must be cited following the OSCOLA 4th edition. Contributors are requested to comply with the same.

6. For citations, authors are requested to use endnotes (please see the articles on the blog for reference). Articles using footnotes, hyperlinks, or any other method citation will not be reviewed. 

The IJIEL Blog is designed to supplement our journal. Therefore, longer pieces (essays or responses to pieces) should be addressed to the journal and not the blog. To submit a piece to the blog, or for any clarifications, please write to us at ijielblog@nls.ac.in.
