FYI... Stefanie Rixecker ECOFEM Coordinator ------- Forwarded message follows ------- The UCLA Journal of International Law and Foreign Affairs is now accepting original, unpublished papers from graduate students, academic experts and professional practitioners whose fields of expertise incorporate the fields of International Law and International Relations. The JILFA was founded in order to increase the interaction between experts in these two historically estranged fields, and is proud to be the first student published journal to explore the nexus of these areas. We are seeking papers that combine the theoretical orientation of the fields of International Relations and International Organization with the practical and pragmatic tack of International Law and Foreign Affairs. The division between these fields grew in part from the adoption of more 'scientific' techniques in the social sciences in the post-War era. Despite this, both fields have continuously been concerned with essentially the same task: understanding the international system and the relations between states. The recent rise of normative and qualitative approaches in the social sciences and the inclusion of social scientific techniques in international law has provided new opportunities for the fields to commingle. The post-Cold war era has further increased this potential interaction by fostering the rapid expansion of a global economy and information technology, interest in identities, and demands for self-determination and democracy. The JILFA was founded in the belief that analyzing the international milieu is best accomplished from an interdisciplinary approach. Recent papers have included: *Commentary on "Migration as International Trade" by Ron Rogowski *Columbia's Commitment Toward A global Agenda Against Drugs by Ernesto Samper, President of Columbia *Change Held in Abeyance: Durability and Vulnerability in Asad's Syria by Raymond Hinnebusch *China and the WTO: The Transparency Issue by Sylvia Ostry *Special Symposium Issue: Reconsidering Immigration In An Integrating World *Comment: Application of the Realist and Liberal Perspectives to the Implementation of War Crimes Trials: Case Studies of Nuremberg and Bosnia by Laurie A.
