President Obama heralded a new era through his speeches and his election. What a perfect time to start a new journal, especially in the field of international law where there is so much need for “change”. As many regions of the world are shaken by conflict and humanitarian crisis, as the global economy is threatened by the collapse of the financial markets, and as environmental degradation is not a territorially limited phenomenon any more, the desire for international legal rules becomes stronger. This calls upon scholars to explore the potential of international law for the solution of these problems on a global scale. If a new era in thinking about international law is to start, the next generation of academics has to be included. One motivation to start this Journal is the observation that there exists only limited opportunity for young international lawyers in Europe to take part in scholarly debate. The established journals can publish only a limited number of contributions. They are forced to reject a large number of high quality submissions. More than this, the journals’ policies determine the debate and not only the actual contributions. Thus far, young scholars in continental Europe have had only few opportunities to work on the board of a law journal and co-determine its policy. We sensed, therefore, the need for a journal, which would allow the new generation to benefit both from the experience of selecting, reviewing and editing the work of experienced academics, and from the opportunity to publish their own work. This is the basic idea underlying the Göttingen Journal of International Law (GoJIL). At the same time, it will be a valuable addition to the international debate. As an e-journal, published exclusively in English, the GoJIL can be accessed free of charge – the best way for reaching the broadest possible audience. We are also of the opinion that open access to academic research is essential for the future of legal scholarship. In the process from submission to publication, the GoJIL can be 6 GoJIL 1 (2009) 1, 5-9 both quick and thorough by saving the time for printing and sending contributions by ordinary mail. Our aim is to publish a journal that fosters debate among scholars of the diverse fields within international law, while, concurrently, facilitating contributions to the debate from related disciplines. In the future, the GoJIL will publish two types of issues. The first type is a semi-annual “regular” issue. For this, we encourage submissions addressing general international law and employing methodologies from neighbouring disciplines such as international relations, history, or economics. The Journal
