EJIL - A Retrospective
As EJIL celebrates its 25th birthday we are offering our readers a Retrospective – an exhibition in which the visitor can glimpse not only the evolution of the Journal but in some respects the last quarter century in the life of international affairs and international law. It has been an intense quarter century (well which isn’t?). When we ideated and then planned and designed the first issue of EJIL the Berlin Wall was still intact. Just. The life of EJIL tracks, thus, the post Cold War world.
In this exhibition there is the main feature and some special exhibits. In this exhibition, we have selected, chronologically, year by year, two or more articles from EJIL . Like curators of an exhibition we had fun but the choice being so rich made the selection hard and ultimately subjective. We tried to choose articles which would give a flavour of the world in which they were written, the diversity of scholarly approaches which has been a hallmark of EJIL since inception and, plain and simply, a ‘good read’ even in some cases after many years. The archive of EJIL (except the current year) is available online, free of charge. Browse the archive of all content.
Enjoy the Retrospective.
The Exhibits
Main exhibit: a selection of two or more articles from each year of publication, just below.
Special exhibit 1: We have aggregated into one chronological file all the Tables of Contents of EJIL . It is actually quite entertaining and instructive to browse through these in this chronological fashion, not only for the feel of the times and the feel of the evolving field it will give you but also to spot some of today’s most respected scholars in their youthful productions – maybe some you are not even aware of. We are still in the business of talent-spotting as our readers and authors will be well aware.
Special exhibit 2: an aggregation into one file of all the Editorials reflecting different styles and different sensibilities of various editors.
Special exhibit 3: our Book Review Editor, Isabel Feichtner, has selected 25 book reviews, one for each year, memorable for the book or for the Review.
Special exhibit 4: all the Roaming Charges photographs have been aggregated into one file.
Special exhibit 5: all the Last Page Poems have been aggregated into one file
