Pace International Law Review will hold a symposium, Comparative Constitutional Law: National Security Across the Globe, on November 13th, 2009. The editors invite proposals for articles, essays and book reviews from scholars, researchers, practitioners, and professionals for contributions to be considered for presentation at the symposium and subsequent publication on the newly developed and comprehensive International Law Website.
Authors are encouraged to submit clear, concise, and accessible proposals for articles, essays and book reviews that will interest lawmakers, attorneys, and students. The proposals should address issues pertinent to the interrelationship between national security concerns and constitutional law of a particular nation or nations. Article proposals that provide a comparative analysis of issues and concerns faced by various nations are preferred. The proposals should be as thorough as possible and may include suggestions for other panelists who are experts in the proposed topic.
Book review proposals should also include (a) the title and publication date of the book proposed for review; (b) a description of the importance of the book to the general topic; and (c) any other information relevant to the book or proposed review (e.g., the reviewer’s expertise or any relationship with the author).
Please submit proposals of no more than 500 words to pilr@law.pace.edu by July 30, 2009. All proposals should include the intended author’s name, title, institutional affiliation and contact information. Authors are also welcome, but not required, to submit a CV. The editors expect to make offers to the selected guest speakers in August, 2009. Please note that all proposals will be considered for publication even if Pace International Law Review finds that the proposal is not suitable or pertinent to this yearÂ’s symposium. Complete manuscripts for work that will not be presented at the Symposium will be due by August 31, 2009.
