ASIL Midyear Meeting & Research Forum



Call for Scholarly Papers
ASIL Research Forum
November 1-3, 2013

The American Society of International Law calls for submissions of scholarly paper proposals for the ASIL Research Forum to be held during the Society's Midyear Meeting at the New York University School of Law on November 1-3, 2013.

The Research Forum, a Society initiative introduced in 2011, aims to provide a setting for the presentation and focused discussion of works-in-progress by Society members. All ASIL members are invited to attend the Forum, whether presenting a paper or not.

Interested participants should submit an abstract (no more than 500 words in length) summarizing the scholarly paper to be presented at the Forum. Papers can be on any topic related to international and transnational law and should be unpublished (for purposes of the call, publication to an electronic database such as SSRN is not considered publication).  Authors may only submit one proposal, although an author may be listed as a non-primary co-author on multiple proposals.  Interdisciplinary projects, empirical studies, and jointly authored papers are welcome. Member proposals should be submitted by Friday, June 14. Please click HERE to get started.

Proposals should include 1) the name, institutional affiliation, professional position, and contact information for the author(s), and 2) an abstract.  Review of the abstracts will be blind, and therefore abstracts should not include any identifying information about the author.  Abstracts containing identifying information will not be reviewed.   The Research Forum Committee will announce selections by July 25.

The Research Forum Committee will organize the selected paper proposals around common issues, themes, and approaches. Discussants, who will comment on the papers, will be assigned to each cluster of papers. All authors will be required to submit a draft paper 4 weeks before the Research Forum as a condition for participation .  Failure to submit a draft paper may result in disqualification.   Drafts will be posted on the Research Forum website.
