Call for papers: Asian Yearbook of International Law

The Asian Yearbook of International Law is published under the auspices of the Foundation for the Development of International Law (DILA) established in December 1989. The aims and purposes of DILA are to promote the study of international law, particularly from an Asian perspective, to disseminate such knowledge and to promote co-operation between persons and institutions actively dealing with questions relating to International Law and Asia.

The Asian Yearbook provides a forum for the publication of Asian perspectives on international law and to disseminate the information concerning Asian state practice in international law to its general readership. Further information about the Yearbook may be obtained from its website: www.dilafoundation.org.

Asian and non-Asian international lawyers are cordially invited to submit original articles of a high standard on any topic relating to public or private international law to be considered for publication. As a yearbook, rather than a biannual or quarterly publication, The Asian Yearbook welcomes full-scale articles (20,000~30,000 words) which present in-depth analysis and critique of a subject matter which should be of enduring value. Shorter articles (5,000~10,000 words) introducing new ideas and/or emerging facts in a descriptive way are also welcome, as are critical essays or notes (3,000–5,000 words) propounding novel or emerging ideas.

The Yearbook's editorial policy is based on the principle that while Asian writers may write on any topic of international law, non-Asian authors are asked to write on international legal issues connected with Asia.

Submissions are accepted on a rolling basis. In general, accepted papers which have reached the editor before 30th June of each year will be included in the volume for that year. Authors are encouraged to submit their papers by electronic mail to either Prof. Thio Li-ann (email: lawtla@nus.edu.sg); Prof. BS Chimni (email: bschimni@hotmail.com); or Prof. Miyoshi Masahiro (email: miyoshim37@yahoo.co.jp).
