Call for papers by Inter Gentes [Rolling Submissions]: Submit Now!

Inter Gentes is inviting submissions that deal with legal pluralism and international law on a rolling basis.

About the Journal

Inter Gentes is committed to publishing thoughtful scholarly pieces that contribute to the theoretical development of legal pluralism and international law. The Journal welcomes unsolicited submissions relating to its current theme or pieces that explore any area of international law and legal pluralism from a critical perspective.

Inter Gentes aims to provide a forum for a broad diversity of opinions. We welcome submissions from professionals, scholars, and students involved in the study or practice of international law, legal pluralism, and other related disciplines.

We strongly believe in diversity and inclusivity and encourage feminist, global, and interdisciplinary scholarship. We are an open-access journal, we encourage authors to refer to e-sources in their citations where readily available, and we strive to make our website and content accessible to individuals who are blind or visually impaired.

In addition, Inter Gentes believes in both pre and post-publication peer review. As such, we encourage our contributors and audience to engage in constructive dialogue by publishing op-eds, comments, and responses on the Journal’s website.

About the Opportunity

Inter Gentes welcomes submissions relating to recent developments in international law and legal pluralism on a rolling basis. A strong preference is given to incisive, argument-driven articles, as opposed to lengthy explanatory pieces. In line with Inter Gentes’ concept, papers that develop novel paradigms on the understanding of international law will gain particular attention from the Editorial Team. In addition, Inter Gentes will encourage its contributors to engage in constructive dialogue by publishing op-eds, comments, and responses on the Journal’s website.
