Call for Papers: Philosophy of International Law

Interesting call for papers, maybe tough for a typical international tax scholar/armchair philosopher to pass peer review, on the other hand I think international tax scholars are increasingly confronting the kinds of questions outlined here.  Details:

The Journal of Philosophy of International Law (JPIL) is a peer-reviewed (and currently an open source Journal) published by ElectronicPublications.Org Ltd—a publisher with no institutional affiliation. The JPIL’s sister publications are the Manchester Journal of International Economic Law and  the Journal of Islamic State Practices in International Law. The JPIL is being re-launched and will be published twice a year (May and November). The Journal has a distinguished Advisory Board and its aim is to provide an established scholarly platform for the philosophy of international law.

The aims of the JPIL are to promote:

• Critical examination of and legal reflection on the foundations of International Law.
• Philosophical analysis and critique of the nature of the international legal order or any aspect thereof.

The areas that might be covered by these aims include, but are not confined to the following:

• Historical enquiry into International Law for philosophical purposes, or intellectual history as related to the foundations and development of International Law.
• Ethical issues in International Law or the uses of International Law for ethical debate.
• Ontological questions of the existence of International Law and the nature of the reality it attempts to regulate, such as states, humanity and world society.
• Epistemological questions of an interdisciplinary nature and enquiry into the limits of disciplinary approaches such as positivism in International Law.

The Journal welcomes submissions of articles and reviews for consideration with a view to publication. The normal word length for article contributions is between 4000-8000 words.
