Effective this month, Something About the Law dedicates a segment to International Affairs; the specialization is aimed at covering contemporary issues of global significance and providing an in-depth analysis of multilateral and regional concerns.

In addition to regular contributions from the SATL team, this section will feature discussions and opinion by members of the academia as well as leading policy analysts.

Our commitment to a foreign affairs segment is long due, and appropriate at a time when the international community is poised to tackle ‘problems without passports’: issues such as climate change, food security, increased terrorist threats, non-proliferation etc. This is an attempt to bring in  International Relations, a much-neglected discipline, onto the mainstream discourse in law schools across India and to encourage awareness of international issues
