aquiescencia

A continuación reproduzco una convocatoria para presentar propuestas de ponencias para un Workshop organizado por el Grupo de interés en Derecho económico internacional en el contexto de la 3ra Conferencia Bienal de la European Society of International Law. No hace falta ser miembro del Grupo para hacer propuestas, pero a los que resulten seleccionados para hacer presentaciones se les invitará a hacerse miembros. Lamentablemente no hay ayudas de viaje para los elegidos. Espero que mucha gente se anime a presentar propuestas.

At this year’s 3 Biennial Conference of the European Society of International Law (ESIL) the International Economic Law Interest Group (IELIG) will be holding its first meeting. This will take the form of a workshop that immediately precedes the main Conference.

Workshop Theme:

We live in an increasingly heterogeneous world. Principles, norms and standards of international economic law are generated in multiple international venues, using a variety of techniques, which range from formal treaty-making processes and national legislation to the development of soft law norms and progressive interpretation in dispute settlement. New interactions and linkages are formed between state, institutions and other non-state actors. New demands are placed on regulators, lawyers and scholars. In light of these developments the IELIG workshop will explore some current Issues of Heterogeneity in International Economic Law, focusing on three sub-themes for which three separate panels will be formed:

Panel I: Regulatory autonomy in the WTO and the EC: domestic measures, “like products” and “Cassis de Dijon” reconsidered
Panel II: EC liability for non-compliance with WTO law
Panel III: Changing notions of MFN in trade, investment and tax regimes
 

Submission process:

Anyone wishing to speak on a subject within one of the three workshop sub-themes should submit a short abstract (350-400 words) of their proposed presentation, together with a brief C.V. or biodata by Monday, 21st April 2008. The abstract should provide an outline of the proposed paper and should identify the thesis to be advanced and the major issues to be addressed. The submission should indicate the author’s name, institutional affiliation and contact details. Only one abstract per person may be submitted.

Workshop papers will be selected exclusively on the basis of scholarly merit, based on the abstract submitted. The IELIG invites all scholars of international economic law to participate in the “Call for Papers” irrespective of their age, gender, language or geographical location.

The deadline for submission is Monday, 21st April 2008 at 17.00 GMT to one of the following e-mail addresses: pstoll@gwdg.de; Mary.Footer@nottingham.ac.uk; or carlos.esposito@uam.es. The outcome of the selection process will be notified to all applicants by Friday, 16th May. Following selection, each presenter must produce by Friday, 15th August 2008 a draft paper of 3,000-5,000 words for circulation among the workshop participants.
