The Law and Development Institute (a research institute in Pyrmont, New South Wales, Australia) invites paper proposals for the 2011 annual conference, Law and Development at the Microlevel: From Microtrade to Current Issues in Law and Development. The conference will be co-hosted with Seattle University School of Law on December 10, 2011, in Seattle.
The LDI calls for papers on any aspect of microtrade, which is a new system of international trade designed to alleviate populations of least-developed countries of extreme poverty (for a concept paper, see http://papers.ssrn.com/abstract_id=1524185), as well as for papers on other law and development issues that can be considered broadly at the “micro level”, including but not limited to: microfinance, microinsurance, green growth and development, etc.
Abstracts must be submitted by June 30, 2011. The paper proposals will be peer-reviewed by members of the editorial board of the Law and Development Review. mw
