Sustainable Development Law and Policy (“SDLP”) is currently accepting submissions for its Fall 2008 issue that will focus on an array of legal and policy implications of current affairs in the global food industry. If you would like to submit an article for consideration, please send your paper or a summary of your topic to sdlp@wcl.american.edu ASAP. The deadline for submission of final papers will be September 30, 2008.
SDLP’s Food issue hopes to provide a forum for practitioners to discuss the legal, social, and political implications of the current global food crisis. We are hoping to evaluate issues such as, but not limited to, bioengineering, food labeling, food aid, climate change and food, intellectual property and food, and the Farm Bill. SDLP aims to represent a range of viewpoints, including those from academia, the private sector, public sector, multilateral organizations, and others. Please view our recent issues at http://www.wcl.american.edu/org/sustainabledevelopment/.
