IUCNAEL e-Journal Call for Papers
The editors would again like to invite all members to submit contributions for inclusion in the third issue of the IUCNAEL e-Journal, which will be published in February 2012. As you are all hopefully now aware, we accept three main different forms of contributions: substantive articles on a specific theme; country reports on contemporary legal and policy developments; and book reviews. The full details regarding the length and nature of these contributions are available on the e-Journal's website (http://www.iucnael.org/en/e-journal/about-the-journal.html). So too are the previous two issues of the e-Journal which should give you a good idea of the nature and form of the different contributions. In summary:
- Substantive articles on a specific theme. The chosen theme for this issue is Innovations in Social Justice and Environmental Governance. During the past few decades, much attention has been paid to 'efficient' environmental protection, but at what social cost? Market instruments frequently empower the rich. Regulated access is often easier for those who are confident, informed and mobile. Even seemingly benign approaches, such as 'green investment', can have dire social consequences for certain sectors of the society. Innovations in environmental law may show the way towards improved environmental governance that simultaneously significantly improves the lot of the least advantaged in society. The editors are particularly interested in articles that demonstrate how environmental law can fulfill its traditional role in pioneering both environmental protection and social justice.
- Country reports. These reports should canvas recent interesting legal and policy developments in members' jurisdictions – preferably developments that have taken place in the past 6-12 months.
- Book Reviews. These book reviews should critical consider texts in the field of environmental law that have been published in the past 6-12 months. Papers and reports should be submitted to IUCNAELJournal@gmail.com by 1st December 2011.
We look forward to receiving your contributions and should you have any queries please do not hesitate to contact us.
