It is my great pleasure to pass along an announcement of the start of what will be an excellent and much needed journal established under the aegis of Cambridge University Press--the Business and Human Rights Journal.
A description of the new Journal, on whose editorial board I serve, and the initial call for papers follows, along with a list of the editors in chief and the editorial board of the Journal. Please consider submitting your manuscripts to the BHRJ.
Business and Human Rights Journal
Call for Papers
The Business and Human Rights Journal (BHRJ) is a new peer-reviewed academic journal published by Cambridge University Press. The journal will be launched at the 4th UN Business and Human Rights Forum in December 2015.
BHRJ will provide an authoritative platform for scholarly debate on all issues concerning the interface of business and human rights in an open, critical and interdisciplinary manner. It aims to publish original and diverse works of the highest scholarly quality examining any relevant issue from theoretical, empirical and policy/reform-oriented perspective.
In addition to publishing scholarly articles and book reviews, BHRJ will feature a ‘Developments in the Field’ (DiF) section, which will include short pieces highlighting key policy, legal and regulatory developments, as well as case studies and insight pieces by academics, practitioners, human rights advocates, and policy-makers.
The Editors welcome submissions on all business and human rights-related topics from scholars and practitioners working in diverse fields such as business and human rights, corporate social responsibility, business ethics, business management, economics, political science, sociology, international law, international relations, public policy, constitutional law, human rights, labour law, environmental law, trade and investment law, consumer protection law, corporate/business law, corporate governance, sustainability, and globalisation. We encourage submissions from scholars representing all parts of the world and particularly from scholars in the Global South.
BHRJ will consider submissions on a rolling basis. However, in order to be considered for the inaugural issue, the submission deadline is 31 March 2015.
The recommended length (including footnotes) is 9,000-12,000 words for articles, 1,500-2,500 words for DiF pieces, and 1,000-1,500 words for book reviews. The Editors may, however, consider longer or shorter papers. Please consult the BHRJ style sheet for further instructions for contributors.
Manuscripts should be sent as a Word attachment to BHRJ@cambridge.org. If you have any queries, please contact any of the Editors-in-Chief:
