The Indiana Journal of Global Legal Studies is a peer-reviewed interdisciplinary journal focusing on the intersections of global and domestic legal regimes, markets, politics, technologies, and cultures. We are rare in that every article we publish goes through a double-blind peer review process. Authors’ manuscripts are reviewed by international academics accross disiplines. This process typically takes four to five weeks but it is extremely beneficial to our authors and its lends itself to a much better product, both for the author and for us. If we send an article out for peer review, there is an expectation that the author will not any offers from other journals as our peer reviewers put a lot of time and effort into their reviews, which are then sent to the author. Our commitment to peer review is consistent with our aim of crafting a forum for interdisciplinary discussion.
The mission of the journal is transnational in nature. Indiana Journal of Global Legal Studies seeks to facilitate dialogue among international communities of scholars in law, sociolegal studies, politics, economics, anthropology, philosophy, cultural studies, and other disciplines with intersecting concerns bearing on new forms of law related to globalization processes (and their contestation). By its very nature, the globalization of law challenges the conventional boundaries among subject disciplines and professional research practices, as well as the boundaries around sovereign state regulatory regimes. The journal is a forum for ongoing research and interdisciplinary, international collaboration. We welcome individual submissions and proposals for symposium issues. All published articles are accessible “open access” after three years.
In brief, the long range goals of this journal are four-fold: to establish collaborative relationships among scholars of different disciplines, especially law, political science, economics, philosophy, and anthropology; to lay the foundations for new modes of interdisciplinary communication on an ongoing basis; to advance scholarship in this area by encouraging the creation of new linkages across interdisciplinary theories of global change and their implications for law; and to facilitate the development of reforms and new perspectives on domestic and international regulatory structures.
