ABOUT THE YIDL
The Yearbook of International Disaster Law (YIDL) aims to foster the interest of academics and practitioners on legal and institutional issues relevant to all forms of natural, technological and human-made hazards, including rapid and slow onset disasters as for the effects of climate change. The goal is to provide a forum for innovative research contributing to the international legal and policy debate related to prevention, mitigation, response and recovery from disasters. The YIDL is a peer-reviewed journal published by Brill and is available in printed and on-line form.
CALL FOR ABSTRACTS
The Yearbook includes both a “Thematic” section and a “General” section. Editors welcome submissions of abstracts for both sections on the basis of the selection process detailed below. The theme for Issue no. 4 is “Regionalization and Localization of International Disaster Law” and authors are encouraged to submit abstracts that either explore legal/institutional approaches adopted by regional and sub-regional organizations toward disaster law issues or the interaction of international disaster law and policies with domestic legal orders and local actors.
We also highly welcome abstracts for potential papers related to the ‘General’ Section addressing any legal issue relevant for international disaster law. Suggestions for book reviews can also be forwarded to the YIDL.
Abstracts for potential papers to be published in the ‘Thematic’ and ‘General’ articles sections of the YIDL should be sent by 14th November 2021 to the e-mail address: info@yearbookidl.org. Abstracts should be between 700 and 1.000 words. Authors are kindly requested to attach a short curriculum vitae to their e-mail.
SELECTION PROCESS
The selection process of submitted abstracts will be coordinated by the Editors of the YIDL and results will be communicated to applicants by the end of November 2021.
