Call for Papers/Panels/Posters: The Society of International Economic Law 6th Biennial Conference, 12 - 14 July 2018

THE SOCIETY OF INTERNATIONAL ECONOMIC LAW
6th Biennial Global Conference
Washington D.C., 12-14 July 2018
CALL FOR PAPERS, PANELS & POSTERS

Deadline for submissions: 1 December 2017

The Sixth Biennial Global Conference of the Society of International Economic Law (SIEL) will
take place at the American University Washington College of Law from 12-14 July, 2018.

The Conference Theme will be “International Economic Law in Unsettling Times.” For the
international economic law community these last years have been anything but settled. The
political consensus on free trade and integration has broken down in states that are traditional
supporters of global liberalism even while new champions of free trade are emerging. The
widely shared feeling that trade gains have been unequally divided for too long and that
globalization has to be made more inclusive puts the system under tremendous pressure to
change. Lack of progress in WTO negotiations is now aggravated by threats to its institutional
set-up. Investment law is affected by its own uncertainties and discussions, and monetary law is
still suffering from the large uncertainties inserted into the system by the global financial crises
and a debt crisis that remains unresolved.

The 2018 SIEL conference invites all academics, practitioners, and government officials to present research or papers addressing any of the issues challenging the international economic law community today.
