Welcome

We are delighted to welcome you to this inaugural event of the new Society of

International Economic Law. This conference represents the culmination of a

year and a half of intense efforts to launch a new organization for our field -

one that is global in scope, with members from Quebec to Santiago, from

Glasgow to Beijing, from Cape Town to Canberra. We are delighted with the

quality and diversity of speakers and participants at this event, as well as the

variety of topics covered across many different substantive areas in the field.

Such diversity is central to the mission of SIEL, and reflects our ongoing and

unfinished efforts to make the organisation as inclusive as possible.

We are so grateful to – and admiring of – the team who has worked so

tirelessly (and in such good humour!) to put this conference together. Among

the many others that helped, we particularly thank Theresa Carpenter (CTEI),

as well as the members of the SIEL Founding and Executive Committees who

have invested an extraordinary amount of time to make the event a success for

us all. And we are grateful to the Centre on Trade and Economic Integration at

the HEID, and particularly its Director Joost Pauwelyn, for their generosity in

hosting the conference, and providing such invaluable support for it.

This conference, however, is just the beginning of the activities of SIEL. This

organization will become more than merely a periodic conference. It is our

goal that, with our members’ active participation, SIEL will serve as a major

force in the development and growth of the field. Such growth would include,

for example, actively working in those parts of the world where the field is not

being taught or practiced at the level required by today’s realities. It might also

include SIEL working to ease connections and networks across the field,

whether such work is with individuals or with already existing and highly

effective organizations. SIEL will also explore how it can fill voids presently

existing in the field - whether in academia or practice. We invite you all

through your work and support to help us make this new organization a

positive force in the field.

Andrew and Colin, Co-Chairs, Founding Committee, SIEL

Galina, Co-Chair, SIEL Inaugural Conference Committee


Welcome message from the CTEI

Welcome to Geneva, the heart of global trade policy! We are extremely proud

to be the host of the SIEL inaugural conference. Like SIEL, the Centre for

Trade and Economic Integration (CTEI) was only created recently. Yet, we

have high ambitions: To become a central hub for research, training,

conferences and other activities in the field of trade and economic integration

and to do so in a multi-disciplinary and problem-solving fashion. We hope that

you enjoy this conference and that we will find ways to continue to work

together in the future.

Prof. Joost Pauwelyn, Director

Dr. Theresa Carpenter, Executive Director

Centre for Trade and Economic Integration, Graduate Institute of

International and Development Studies, Geneva
