The Journal of World Investment & Trade (JWIT) is a double-blind peer-reviewed journal that focuses on legal aspects of global trade and investment relations. JWIT covers a wide range of topics, including the law of bilateral, multilateral, regional, and sectoral treaties, dispute resolution, and domestic laws related to trade and foreign investment. The Journal places international trade and investment law in a broader context, exploring its interactions with international and domestic law, both public and private, such as general public international law, international taxation, international commercial law and arbitration, international environmental law, energy law, human rights, and sustainable development.
JWIT invites submissions of scholarly studies that address fundamental and systematic issues of trade and investment relations, as well as current topics such as international and domestic policy trends, relevant court cases, and industry- or country-specific case studies, including those in the natural resources and energy sectors. The Journal welcomes a variety of doctrinal and empirical approaches, including normative analysis, law & economics analysis, socio-legal analysis, historical analysis and political science analysis.
JWIT is an independent and neutral publication with a global outreach, not aligned with any specific national jurisdiction. JWIT targets scholars, government officials, members of international and non-governmental organizations, as well as legal practitioners from all continents and legal traditions.
JWIT has established itself as a leading publication in the field of global trade and investment law, attracting the best authors in the field over the past 25 years. The Journal’s commitment to high-quality, double-blind peer-review, and its broad coverage of legal issues related to trade and investment relations, has made it a sought-after venue for the publication of cutting-edge research and analysis.
JWIT is also at the forefront of social media innovations and engages with its readers in a number of new and innovative ways. JWIT updates, thematic videos and podcasts can be found on all the major social media platforms, including LinkedIn, YouTube, X (previously Twitter), Instagram and Bluesky. This allows the Journal to share its content, connect with its audiences, and foster a dynamic and interactive community of scholars, practitioners, and policy-makers interested in the field of global trade and investment law.
With its cutting-edge research, strong social media presence, and commitment to innovation, JWIT is well-positioned to continue to be a leading voice in the field for years to come.

For all manuscript submissions please, follow the JWIT Style Guidelines.
The Journal of World Investment & Trade (JWIT) implements a double-blind peer review system, which conceals both the identity of the author(s) and the selected reviewers from one another. This anonymity minimizes the potential for bias to influence the review process. The JWIT adheres to a rigorous three-stage review process, consisting of an initial evaluation by the Editors-in-Chief, followed by external review, and finally, a decision made by the editors.
At the initial stage, the manuscript is assessed for minimum requirements and checked for possible instances of plagiarism through the use of the Editorial Manager’s iThenticate plagiarism detection system. If the manuscript passes this evaluation, it is then reviewed for suitability within the scope of the JWIT and its adherence to English language standards. Any necessary grammatical corrections are made by the editorial office, while substantially problematic language may require revision by the author.
Next, the double-blind review system is employed, wherein a minimum of two external reviewers with expert knowledge of the subject area are selected to evaluate the manuscript. If the opinions of the two reviewers differ, a third reviewer may be consulted. The author(s) receive all reviewer comments, including those from a third reviewer if necessary, and are given the opportunity to revise the manuscript accordingly.
The final stage of the review process involves the review and decision made by the Editors-in-Chief, who may choose to accept the manuscript as is, accept with minor correction, require major corrections, or reject it. If accepted, the manuscript is scheduled for publication. If corrections are required, the author(s) must make the necessary changes, after which the editor reviews the revised manuscript prior to publication. In some instances, the editor may request additional revisions or seek the opinion of a specific reviewer before accepting the manuscript for publication.
