Contribute (Short) Comments & Papers

We are looking for both short comments on recent developments of broad interest and longer academic style papers. We would like, such comments and papers to be backed-up by provision of in-depth notes and articles and primary legal and regulatory materials.

Given TDM's role as the principal international arbitration network, we are looking to re-publish quality and relevant studies published elsewhere - and would appreciate help in identifying such studies and, where possible, get the authors' (or other right-holders') consent.

For more information or suggestions, please contact our Editor in Chief, have a look at our submission guidelines and read our Call for Papers section.
