Call for Papers – Journal on Governance NATIONAL LAW UNIVERSITY, JODHPUR

                                                                               

Ever since its inception, the Journal on Governance has highlighted and debated upon the changing face of Corporate Governance in India while keeping pace with the world. The journal aims to serve as a platform for analyzing the evolution of the governance scenario in our country. In keeping with this objective, the Board of Editors is pleased to announce Emerging Trends in Corporate Governance as the theme for the Journal?s next issue. (Vol. 1 No. 6)

The idea of Corporate Governance in India has outgrown an oblivion existence and reached a crucial stage in light of the emerging worldwide country specific trends and the Companies Bill 2011. The Companies Bill 2011 along with other fundamental changes in India?s Corporate Law jurisprudence seeks to define a Director?s office, responsibilities, and his work in a much more comprehensive manner than ever before. The Bill has further incorporated a varied approach towards governance especially by including specific provisions for director?s remuneration; reservation on board for women directors; duties of directors and by discussing the role and scope of Independent Directors in a greater detail. E-governance and Annual Reports have also been recognized and institutionalized. Also, in light of the proposed General Anti Avoidance Rules (GAAR) the connection between tax and governance has come to the forefront in India.
 

In light of these changes, developments and emerging concepts around the world, the Board of Editors invite „Articles?, „Notes? and „Comments? for the upcoming issue of Journal on Governance on the following sub-themes:

Transnational Environmental Law

                                      

About Journal

Transnational Environmental Law (TEL) is a peer-reviewed journal for the study of environmental law and governance beyond the state. It approaches legal and regulatory developments with an interest in the contribution of non-state actors and an awareness of the multi-level governance context in which contemporary environmental law unfolds.
 

TEL offers a forum for rigorous analysis and discussion of the impacts of globalization on complex environmental risks and norms. It welcomes scholarship that enriches our understanding of contemporary environmental law through comparative and cutting-edge interdisciplinary analysis. TEL’s scope is broadly conceived in terms of disciplinary focus: its pages are open to scholarly contributions covering a wide range of environmental issues, including climate change, biodiversity, emerging technologies, industrial pollution and waste management. TEL also promotes the exploration of the evolving dynamics between environmental law and other legal disciplines (including but not limited to trade and competition law, financial law, and human rights).
 

TEL aims to support and contribute to a new generation of environmental scholarship that will bridge geographical boundaries, scholarly styles and generations. It warmly encourages participation by young and emerging talents from across the globe. TEL seeks to foster innovative synergies between different scholarly styles and traditions, and strives for the development of a new generation of environmental scholarship that will bridge existing divides, including notably the divide between North American and European approaches to environmental law scholarship. In the same spirit, TEL encourages the integration of theoretical and practical legal perspectives on current environmental issues, and aims to deliver scholarship of high salience to academics and practitioners alike.

Submissions and Peer Review
 

All submissions (except book reviews) must be made online via the TEL online ScholarOne platform:
http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/TEL_submissions
 

The Editors of TEL warmly invite the submission of manuscripts from scholars, lawyers and professionals active in fields related to environmental law and governance. Prior to electronic submission, prospective authors may also contact the Editors via email with proposals for planned submissions.
 

Before submitting their work online, authors are strongly urged to refer to the instructions for manuscript preparation (including house style, referencing format, and additional guidance).
 

All contributions in the journal are peer-reviewed (double-blind), and will be evaluated on their originality, analytical thoroughness, affinity with the mission and scope of the journal, and conformity with the highest standard of scholarly presentation. TEL strives to respect an expedient turn-around time of 6 weeks between receipt of the manuscript and first notification of acceptance, rejection or need for revision.
 

Consideration will be given only to original works that have not been previously published and that are not under simultaneous consideration for publication elsewhere. The Editors will also consider revised versions of previously released working papers, provided that such publication is clearly acknowledged upon submission of the paper for consideration to TEL. Authors wanting to submit a mostly identical version of publicly available working papers for review are required to indicate this clearly in the cover letter space provided in the online submission forms. They are moreover advised to contact the Editors via email prior to submission.
 

No preference shall be given to submissions in respect of the professional rank or affiliation of the author. Submissions from younger scholars and authors in developing and newly developed countries are warmly encouraged.
 

All accepted works will be scheduled for publication both in print and online. To reduce time between acceptance and publication articles will appear online as FirstView publications in advance of their scheduled publication in print. As a rule, contributions will be published chronologically in accordance with the date of their original submission, although exceptions may be made to foster thematic cohesion or balanced coverage within individual issues.
