Calls for Papers

In Search of Second World Approaches to International Law (SWAIL): The upcoming event “In search of SWAIL – Second World Approaches to International Law” will be held from February 21-22, 2025 at Central European University, Vienna, Austria. In searching for SWAIL, this project takes as its point of departure that Eastern Europe occupies a liminal space within the discipline of international law. Neither of the ‘core’, nor of the ‘periphery’, the region occupies a liminal, semi-peripheral, and largely invisible mental space, that results in its ‘dual exclusion’ from both mainstream Western and non-Western approaches to international law. In recovering Eastern Europe’s place and role in international law, this project aims not only to develop a more nuanced understanding of international law’s past, present and future, and to unsettle some mainstream and critical narratives that have come to dominate the discipline in the last two decades; it aims also to foster bridges with scholars from other regions and is geared to countering imperialism by addressing epistemic injustice and unequal knowledge production in international law vis-à-vis Eastern Europe. The call for papers and information about submissions can be found here.
