Austrian Review of International and European Law (ARIEL) – Volume 31 (2026) on Peace and Security in International Law: The ARIEL invites all interested persons to submit contributions to Volume 31 (2026). The issue will focus on questions surrounding ‘peace and security’ in international law, in light of the (consistent) inability of the UN collective security system to effectively function, increasing unilateral action of states reacting to (perceived) threats to their security and the turn to regional organizations as the UN system fails to deliver.

The ARIEL is an annual publication that provides a scholarly forum to discuss issues of public international law and European law, with particular emphasis on topics being of special interest to Austria, and welcomes both longer analytical articles (8,000-12,500 words) and shorter notes on current developments (6,000-8,000 words). Submissions should include a confirmation of exclusive submission and be sent to the Corresponding Editor (philipp.janig@univie.ac.at) by 30 October 2026.

Indiana International & Comparative Law Review: The Indiana International & Comparative Law Review invites proposals, partial drafts, and full manuscripts for its Fall 2026 Symposium Issue, Vol. 37, “Democratic Resilience: Institutional Design, Accountability, and Comparative Responses.” The issue welcomes original, analytically rigorous work examining how law shapes, constrains, protects, or renews democratic institutions from domestic, comparative, international, or transnational perspectives. Possible areas include constitutional structure, courts, elections, governance, accountability, anti-corruption, speech, media, technology, comparative law, international law, and human rights. The live symposium will be held on 13 November 2026, at Indiana University Robert H. McKinney School of Law. Publication consideration does not require participation in the live symposium. Review is rolling until the issue is filled; submissions by 15 August are encouraged for the strongest consideration. More information here.
