Call for Papers! Letters to a Young Scholar – A Workshop for Early Career Scholars to Prepare a Manuscript Submission to the JWIT!

Are you an early career scholar interested in publishing an article in the Journal of World Investment and Trade (JWIT), but uncertain about your chances of success? This workshop is designed to guide you through the process and boost your confidence.

Submission Scope JWIT invites submissions that align with its broad focus on international trade and investment law. Articles should address topics such as bilateral, multilateral, regional, and sectoral treaties; dispute resolution; and relevant domestic laws. The journal seeks to place trade and investment law within a wider context by examining its interplay with areas such as public international law, international taxation, commercial law, environmental law, energy law, human rights, and sustainable development.

Submissions can cover both fundamental issues and current topics including international and domestic policy trends, relevant legal cases, and case studies specific to industries or countries. JWIT welcomes a range of approaches, including normative, legal and economic, socio-legal, historical, and political science analyses. Senior academics who will participate in the workshop to provide advice and guidance include Andrea Bjorklund, Julien Chaisse, Dominic Npoanlari Dagbanja, Ming Du, Filippo Fontanelli, Moshe Hirsch, Joanna Lam, Maria Laura Marceddu, Irma Mosquera, Krista Nadakavukaren Schefer, Shin-yi Peng among others. Their collective expertise will offer invaluable insights into the intricacies of academic publishing, helping early career scholars navigate the submission and peer review process with confidence.
