About the journal
The EU’s participation in international lawmaking stretches from trade and economic affairs, to the environment, defence and political cooperation, conflict of laws, migration, criminal justice cooperation, as well as human rights. The EU’s ever greater involvement with World affairs and its ever greater influence on the direction of international law and politics has almost become a common place. If nothing else, the Brexit debate has painfully highlighted that the position and relevance on the international plane of each and every Member State is closely connected to its EU membership.
Our motivation to start Europe and the World: A Law Review was fundamentally motivated by the need that we see for an open and inclusive, as well as informed and thoughtful exchange on Europe’s role and influence in the World. This is what we hope to achieve by offering an accessible forum for high quality academic analysis. Our journal will be fully open access, and as such at the vanguard of new directions in academic publishing. At the same time, it employs the established tools for achieving academic excellence, such as blind peer review. The journal is now open for submission.
In addition to the journal, we have opened a space for critical observations on current developments. See our blog.
The journal is co-edited by the director of ACELG, Prof Christina Eckes, University of Amsterdam; Prof Piet Eeckhout, University College London; and Assoc. Prof Anne Thies, University of Reading. We are most grateful to UCL Press for enabling and funding this.
