Call for Book Proposals: for The Oxford International Law Library series, Submission Deadline- 31 March 2026
The Oxford International Law Library series features works on substantial topics in international law which provide authoritative statements of the chosen areas. Taken together they map out key areas of international law in a set of scholarly reference works and treatises intended to be of use to scholars, practitioners, and students.
We aim to explore key concepts and areas of common interest across different fields that resonate with the world of practice. We will consider both single-authored and multi-authored books. In the latter case, the proposed book would need to present a coherent approach to the topic, resulting from a collaborative project (not an edited collection of unrelated conference papers).
Interested authors are invited to submit a short-format proposal by 31 March 2026, including:
1. An outline of the proposed book, incl. an explanation of how it relates to the themes listed above, how it compares to the existing literature in the field and, for multi-authored books, how the coherence of the topic will be assured (2 pages max.)
2. A preliminary table of contents of the proposed book (2 pages max.)
3. A CV (2 pages max.)
4. A list of publications
5. A writing sample (either a published book chapter or journal article)
For submission of the short-format proposal or questions, please do not hesitate to email freya.baetens@law.ox.ac.uk with ‘Oxford International Law Library series’ in the subject line. After the Call has closed, the Editors will review all proposals and invite authors of selected proposals to submit their long-format proposal by 30 June 2026 at the latest.
