• The Journal has witnessed the publication of pieces by field luminaries such as Raj Bhala, Yogesh Pai, Fiona Smith, and Faizel Ismail, and the Blog strives to reach the same heights.

Theme

• The blog welcomes pieces addressing all aspects of the vast domain of international economic law, including trade and development law, international arbitration law, intellectual property law, international taxation law, and everything else in between.
• IJIEL also has the mandate of covering aspects of international economic law affecting the developing world, and pieces to that effect are also welcome.
