Dear colleagues,
Call for Contributions: Special Climate Law Issue on Climate Geoengineering Climate Law <http://www.brill.com/products/journal/climate-law> , a journal of Brill, plans to publish a special issue on climate geoengineering law in early 2015. Wil Burns of Johns Hopkins University and Simon Nicholson of the School of International Service at American University will serve as guest editors for the issue. Though this call is for an issue of a law journal, we are happy to consider well-crafted contributions from non-legal perspectives, provided that clear links are made to relevant notions of domestic or international law, and that the typical conventions of writing for a law journal are followed. The guidelines for articles are as follows: . Length: 5000-7000 words. Consideration will be given to longer or shorter pieces, but this needs to be cleared with one of the editors in advance; . We are seeking contributions that help advance this field in the face of a proliferation of publications in the past few years. We are particularly interested in pieces that discuss the relevance of institutions not well-discussed in the literature to date, such as human rights regimes, as well as contributions that drill down deeper into questions such as potential liability regimes and the role of transboundary impact assessment, and the potential role of national regulation of geoengineering research and development; . Deadline for submission of drafts: December 15, 2014; . Guidelines for preparation of manuscripts are available on the journal <http://www.editorialmanager.com/clla/> 's site; submissions that fail to conform to these guidelines, especially in terms of footnote citation format, will be returned to contributors. If you're interested in contributing to the issue, please submit an abstract of 150-200 words to Wil Burns <mailto:[email protected]> or Simon Nicholson <mailto:[email protected]> by March 15, 2014. We hope to have all pieces commissioned shortly thereafter. Please also don't hesitate to contact us with any questions you might have about the issue.
