Subject: Sustainable Development Law & Policy: Call for Papers
Date: September 16, 2008

 A Call for Papers from Sustainable Development Law & Policy for its upcoming Fall 2008 issue on the global food industry. 
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 at wcl.american.edu ASAP. The deadline for submission of final papers will be by 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.

• Articles must be no longer than 15 pages (double spaced, 12 point font, Times New Roman print).

• Articles should be submitted electronically in Microsoft Word or a Word-compatible software program.

• All articles should attempt to follow the format presented in previous issues of SDLP. This includes an introduction, which outlines the rest of the article, and a conclusion. Please refer recent issues for examples.
